Description
The Paul Klemperer Fellowship in the History of Medicine is designed to support scholars conducting original research in the history of medicine using the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) Library’s extensive collections. The fellowship particularly encourages projects engaging with the history of health equity or healthspan. Recipients are required to spend at least four weeks in residence at the NYAM Library in New York City, where they will conduct research, present their findings publicly at NYAM, contribute a blog post, and submit a final report. The fellowship aims to foster engagement with NYAM’s unique resources and promote historical understanding in the medical humanities.
