Description
The SoFCB Junior Fellows Program is funded and administered by Rare Book School through its Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography. Junior Fellows join a scholarly community working across disciplines to advance the study of texts, images, and artifacts as material objects. The program connects this shared focus on material objects with the broader aims of critical bibliography.
The fellowship is part of Rare Book School’s scholarship and fellowship offerings, which support educational opportunities through courses administered by RBS, based at the University of Virginia. Shared award terms describe support for in-person and online study, but do not establish the specific benefits of the Junior Fellows Program.
