Description
The Franco Institute at the University of Notre Dame offers Humanities Fellowships to support sustained, full-time research by individual faculty in the College of Arts and Letters. Fellows receive time for research and writing, research funds, and an external manuscript workshop. The program also brings fellows together throughout the academic year to share and discuss work in progress.
The Institute embraces a broad definition of the humanities, including languages, linguistics, literature, history, jurisprudence, philosophy, archaeology, comparative religion, ethics, and the history, criticism, and theory of the arts. Social sciences with humanistic content and methods also qualify. Projects must use interpretive methods and advance humanistic scholarship, with potential contributions to scholarship, the wider public, or both.
