Description
Virginia Humanities’ Public Humanities Fellowships support writers, independent scholars, community historians, and college and university faculty in sharing research, stories, and cultural expressions relevant to Virginia’s diverse communities. The program connects audiences to wider regional, national, and global contexts while helping Virginians better understand their state, its role in the world, and one another.
The fellowships advance humanities work in the public interest, including projects addressing history, literature, religion, and community stories. Preference goes to projects that engage the public in meaningful and creative ways. Fellows receive time, funding, library and archival access, and opportunities to exchange ideas with others working in related fields.
