Description

This award supports mid-career and senior U.S. academics and professionals to spend four months in Italy pursuing a combination of teaching and research in cultural heritage fields. Scholars may propose their own activities, timeframe, and host institution (affiliation in Southern Italy is encouraged), and can engage in disciplines such as art history, archaeology, architecture, museum studies, and related areas. Activities may include teaching undergraduate or graduate courses, advising students, curriculum development, independent research, or artistic projects. The program emphasizes integration with the host institution and the local community, often involving seminars, workshops, and public talks. The goal is to promote international understanding and collaboration through academic and cultural exchange.
