Description
The Collegeville Institute’s Kilian McDonnell Fellowship in Faith and Culture supports research on the relationships between religion and culture in contemporary society. It is intended for residency applicants who want their written work to reach a broad audience, connecting scholarly inquiry with communication beyond a narrow readership.
The fellowship is available through the Resident Scholars Program and Short Term Residencies in Collegeville, Minnesota. Fellows receive housing, travel and research support, and the privileges associated with their residency. The residential setting combines independent research and writing with a community of study, dialogue, and prayer. Resident Scholars gather weekly for seminars, prayer, and shared lunch with other scholars, Institute staff, and monastic liaisons from Saint John’s Abbey.
