Description

The Wenner-Gren Foundation’s Fellowship in Anthropology and Black Experiences supports writing that draws on Black studies, critical race studies, diasporic Africana studies, the vernacular insights of communities of color, and other sources rooted in global Black experiences. It welcomes projects across anthropology’s subfields, including—but not limited to—research focused on Black communities.

The fellowship provides nine months of concentrated writing to advance anthropological knowledge and transform debates in the field. It seeks to amplify perspectives previously underrepresented in anthropology and help scholars at critical career junctures reach new networks and audiences. The Fellow joins a cohort and participates in a writing workshop and networking activities intended to strengthen public anthropology skills and the project’s impact beyond academia.
