Description
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, journalists, historians, educators, artists, and other professionals researching the magazine’s archive, potentially alongside other Center collections. The archive includes editorial files relating to every issue and year-by-year correspondence documenting daily business, including the commissioning of reviews, essays, and poems.
Supported projects include scholarly articles, monographs, dissertations, plays, novels, films, digital humanities, performance-based research, exhibition proposals, and collaborative research. The Center welcomes diverse perspectives and contributions to an inclusive research culture, including work that critically examines archival representation and gaps in scholarship. The fellowship centers on substantial on-site consultation rather than remote research.
