Description
Ohio State University’s Global Arts + Humanities (GAH) Society of Fellows brings together graduate students whose scholarly or creative projects engage the annual theme through disciplinary, cross-disciplinary, or community-engaged approaches. The 2027–28 theme, “(Re)formations,” examines adaptation, reuse, translation and intertextuality, alongside the social, political, institutional, physical and artistic forms these acts shape.
Projects may investigate how inherited works, objects, ideas and practices are remade, what is preserved or lost, whose experiences become visible or erased, and who holds authority to transform existing forms. Fellows pursue individual projects with departmental faculty guidance while joining a cohort mentored by a GAH Faculty Fellow. The year-long fellowship supports critical and creative practice, cross-disciplinary methods, and participatory networks with local Columbus communities.
