Fellowships and Grants
The Cogut Center administers several fellowship and grant programs to provide support to Brown University faculty and students in the pursuit of their humanities research and study.
Our current programs include Faculty Fellowships for Brown faculty, Humanities Research Group Grants for Brown faculty and students, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships in the humanities for non-Brown postdoctoral scholars, Postdoctoral Fellowships in International Humanities focused on the question of the humanities and the transnational university for non-Brown postdoctoral scholars, and Graduate Fellowships in the Humanities for Brown graduate students.
In the summer of 2009, for the third year in a row, the Center offered two Tuition Fellowships to attend the School of Criticism and Theory at Cornell University. Sponsored participants can be senior graduate students or junior faculty members.
Academic year 2008-09 saw the inauguration of an exciting new program of Visiting Professors in the Humanities. The Cogut Center selected scholars committed to innovation in disciplinary and transdisciplinary studies. In these single-semester appointments, Visiting Professors teach one seminar at the Cogut Center, where they have an office and the option of participating in various center programs.
The Center also inaugurated its Undergraduate Fellowship program in 2008-09, offering advanced honors undergraduates the opportunity to participate in the life of the center and benefit from the critique of their work by other Cogut Fellows.
