Description
The Anne Jacobson Schutte Fellowship in Early Modern Studies commemorates Schutte’s scholarship and supports early-career scholars studying the period 1300–1700. Administered by the Newberry Library through its Short-Term Fellowship program, it gives preference to research related to women’s studies, spirituality, or Venice. Projects may come from any field, provided they demonstrate a need to investigate specific items in the Newberry’s collections.
The fellowship provides one month of intensive research at the library in Chicago and participation in its scholarly community. The broader program supports humanities-centered research grounded in the Newberry’s holdings, particularly archival materials and rare books. Applicants apply through the Short-Term Fellowship program rather than separately for this named award; successful applicants are matched with applicable fellowship funds.
