Description
The J. M. Stuart Graduate Fellowship at the John Carter Brown Library is designed to advance the dissertation research of Brown University Ph.D. students in the Humanities or Social Sciences whose work focuses on the early history and culture of the Americas. Fellows become part of an international scholarly community in residence at the Library, gaining privileged access to its renowned collections. A distinctive aspect of this fellowship is the expectation to collaborate with curatorial experts on a Library project—such as curating exhibitions, contributing to publications, or developing digital resources—directly related to the fellow’s research interests. This immersive experience aims to deepen scholarly engagement with the Library’s holdings and foster professional development.
