Greetings from Rare Book School!
Rare Book School (RBS) is offering an exciting fellowship opportunity for those teaching undergraduates about book history: the M. C. Lang Fellowship in Book History, Bibliography, and Humanities Teaching with Historical Sources. If you aren’t familiar with RBS, please feel free to check out our website at www.rarebookschool.org.
We encourage you to consider applying yourself and would be grateful if you would also consider passing on this announcement or attached brochure to your department, close colleagues, or anyone else you know who might be interested!
The Lang Fellowship is a two-year program designed to animate humanities teaching and equip educators at liberal arts colleges and small universities in the United States to enlarge their students’ historical sensibilities through bibliographically informed instruction with original historical sources. The deadline to apply is Monday, 4 December 2023 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
If you would like to learn more, RBS has posted an informational recording of a Zoom session about the program from 25 October on our YouTube channel.
The fellowship includes:
Tuition waivers for two RBS courses
An annual stipend of $1,500 for travel, housing, course books, and other costs related to the Fellow’s RBS course attendance
The opportunity to apply for matching funds of up to $1,000 each year of the fellowship to further the Fellow’s efforts to foster book-historical humanities teaching at their home institution
