The new Long-term Public Humanities Fellowship is designed to draw on the strengths of the Folger’s collections, exhibitions, and programming themes. The fellow will be expected to devote 75% of their residency to research and 25% to implementing public humanities engagement for Folger audiences, in cooperation with Folger Institute staff. Applicants must propose and detail four touchstones of public humanities engagement they will develop and implement during their residency.

Applicants are not required to hold a terminal degree but should describe their equivalent training and industry-specific experience in their CV. One Long-term Public Humanities Fellowship will be offered at $70,000 for a standard period of 9 months.

The deadline for Long-term Public Humanities Fellowship applications is December 15, 2024.
