Description
The Wenner-Gren Foundation’s Fejos Fellowship in Public Media helps early-career anthropologists communicate research beyond print through film, video, audio, and other creative multimodal work. It supports projects in their final, post-production stages, including podcasts, video shorts, experimental films, audio ethnographies, tactile performances, and documentaries. The goal is to advance anthropological knowledge and reach new audiences within and beyond the discipline.
The program values innovative communication, theoretically rich content, and ethical representation of diverse communities. It encourages collaboration with research participants in conception, production, and distribution, including attention to community permissions and rights to the materials produced. The Foundation has no preference for particular methodologies, research locations, topics, or subfields.
