Brown University’s John Nicholas Brown Center for the Study of American Civilization is pleased to 
announce two new fellowship programs.

JNBC Community Fellows. These short-term fellowships for staff at Southern New England cultural 
institutions are intended to encourage thoughtful reflection on the recipient’s ongoing work, as 
well as to provide a chance to discuss that work with Brown students, faculty, and other public 
humanists. Applications are particularly encouraged from those who have recently completed a 
project and are interested in writing about it. From one week to one month in length, these 
fellowships provide a place to work, access to Brown University libraries, and a stipend of $1500 
per month. JNBC Community Fellows are expected to make a presentation on their work to the 
JNBC Public Humanities Colloquium, and to write, for publication on the JNBC website, a short 
essay on the practical, philosophical and community issues they deal with in their ongoing public 
humanities work. Individuals whose recent work includes exhibitions, the connections of cultural 
and educational institutions, or community outreach are especially encouraged to apply.

JNBC Public Humanities Fellows. These fellowships are intended to encourage writing on issues of 
the public humanities. Available for periods of up to three months, and open to academics, staff at 
cultural organizations, and independent scholars, the Public Humanities Fellows will provide a 
place to work, access to Brown University libraries, participation in a community of interested 
faculty, students, and public humanists, and a stipend of $1500 per month. JNBC Public 
Humanities Fellows are expected to make a presentation on their work to the JNBC Public 
Humanities Colloquium, and to write, for publication on the JNBC website, a short essay on the 
subject of their fellowship.
