Description
The Society of Architectural Historians’ H. Allen Brooks Travelling Fellowship supports recent graduates and emerging scholars who want to learn through travel and contemplation. Fellows may travel to any country or countries for a continuous period of three to twelve months, observing, reading, writing, photographing, or sketching architecture and landscapes. Partial-year itineraries broaden access for applicants unable to travel for a full year.
Created through architectural historian H. Allen Brooks’s 2010 bequest, the fellowship is funded by SAH’s H. Allen Brooks Travelling Fellowship Fund. Its purpose is personal enrichment and growth, not research for an advanced academic degree or publication. The experience should help recipients reflect deeply on their profession and acquire knowledge useful to future work, professional contributions, and contributions to society.
