Description
Ohio State University’s Global Arts + Humanities (GAH), through its Cross-Disciplinary Research Exchange, offers Society of Fellows Graduate Team Fellowships to recognize graduate students’ academic accomplishments and cross-disciplinary aspirations. The year-long fellowship supports disciplinary, cross-disciplinary and community-engaged arts and humanities research and creative work, including projects developing participatory networks with local Columbus communities. Fellows pursue individual projects with departmental advisors while exchanging research and developing cross-disciplinary methods with a GAH faculty mentor.
The 2027–28 theme, “(Re)formations,” explores adaptation, reuse, translation and intertextuality as engines of inquiry and creation. Projects may examine how cultural forms are reinterpreted, reclaimed or reimagined; what transformation preserves or erases; and who has authority to transform inherited forms. The theme also invites inquiry into how reforming or refusing conventions changes power, authority and belonging.
