Description

The Interdisciplinary Fellowship at the Metropolitan Museum of Art provides funding for independent research projects that leverage The Met’s collections, archives, and resources to explore connections across cultures and disciplines. The program encourages proposals that bridge the arts, humanities, and sciences, and welcomes applicants from diverse fields such as anthropology, critical theory, education, literature, performance, media studies, psychology, and more. Fellows are placed within a museum department but are encouraged to collaborate across departments, fostering innovative, cross-disciplinary scholarship. The fellowship aims to cultivate a vibrant intellectual community and offers professional development opportunities, weekly programs, and access to The Met’s world-class collections and staff expertise.
