Description
Ohio State University’s Global Arts + Humanities (GAH) Society of Fellows supports research, creative and public-facing projects through a multidisciplinary research community. The 2027–28 theme, “(Re)formations,” explores adaptation, reuse, translation and intertextuality, alongside the social, political, institutional, physical and artistic forms these acts shape. Projects may use arts and humanities disciplinary or cross-disciplinary approaches and/or community-engaged methods.
The fellowship invites inquiry into how inherited works, objects, ideas and practices are remade: what is preserved or lost, whose experiences become visible or erased, and who has authority to transform existing forms. Projects may examine relationships between sources and their iterations or how reforming structures challenges conventions that distribute power, authority and belonging. Monthly seminars and related events support collaboration across disciplines.
