Description
The T.B.L. Webster Fellowship is offered by the Institute of Classical Studies (ICS), part of the University of London’s School of Advanced Study. Inaugurated in 1999, it supports scholars from universities outside the UK whose research concerns ancient theatre and performance and its reception, or classical art and archaeology. The fellowship combines time at the Institute with support toward travel and accommodation.
Applicants are invited to propose an event or training activity at ICS during their stay. Activities engaging UK-based classical researchers or the national and international subject community are particularly welcomed. Separate funding supports speakers’ travel and appropriate catering for these activities. Fellows are also encouraged to speak at events or participate in workshops elsewhere in the UK when invited.
