Summary: Supports scholars and dissertation students conducting research in eighteenth-century studies through a jointly funded library fellowship.
Key Information: ASECS membership is not required to apply, but membership in good standing is required to receive the fellowship.
The American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) and the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies jointly fund this library fellowship to support research projects in eighteenth-century studies. The institute manages the fellowship and receives applications directly. It supports scholars who hold a PhD as well as graduate students working on their dissertations.
The fellowship’s research scope is eighteenth-century studies broadly. Projects are not required to focus on Irish studies, despite the institute’s role as funding partner and administrator. The program brings the two organizations together to support scholarly work through a $4,000 fellowship.
