Description
The Martin Duberman Visiting Fellowship at the New York Public Library promotes excellence in LGBTQ studies by supporting original, archivally based research. Launched in 2011, it welcomes established and emerging scholars, including academics and independent scholars. The selected scholar conducts research at the Library, drawing on its LGBTQ collections while remaining free to use other NYPL collections as well.
The program prioritizes originality, contribution to scholarship, meaningful use of archives, and the potential for funding to advance a research project. NYPL holds one of the world’s largest collections of LGBTQ history and materials on the social history of the AIDS crisis. Fellowship-supported work has explored Black gay cultural life, lesbian poetry and desire, gay liberation, queer kinship, and the history of AIDS.
