The London Review of Books International Fellowship is a jointly funded award administered by the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin. It supports scholars and creative professionals consulting the magazine’s archive, potentially alongside other Center collections. The archive contains editorial files documenting the compilation of every issue and year-by-year correspondence about daily business and the commissioning of reviews, essays, and poems.
Supported projects include articles, monographs, dissertations, plays, novels, films, interdisciplinary creative work, digital humanities projects, performance-based research, exhibition proposals, and collaborative research. The Center encourages work that explores, examines, critiques, and deepens understanding of cultural works. It particularly welcomes diverse perspectives, contributions to an inclusive research culture, and projects that critically examine archival representation or identify gaps in scholarship.
