Folger Institute Announces New Semester-Long Fellowships
Starting in the 2027-2028 fellowship year, the Folger Institute is proud to offer expanded funding for medievalist scholars! Created by Professor Jody Enders in honor of her late parents, two long-term fellowships will be dedicated to supporting exceptional scholarship in medieval studies.
The Corinne and Howard Enders Fellowship in Medieval/Renaissance Theater, Rhetoric, Translation, or Translation Studies is open to exceptional scholars at all levels to support their work in the theory, practice, translation, or performance of theater and/or other live art forms. Preference will be given to projects in areas other than Shakespeare or Britain.
The Corinne and Howard Enders Fellowship in Medieval Literary Studies Outside Britain is open to exceptional scholars at all levels who are studying any aspect of medieval literature in continental Europe, the Middle East, or beyond.
Both fellowships are semester-long (5 month) fellowships, with an award of $35,000 USD. Scholars may take up to one month virtually. In addition to award funding, scholars will be offered professional development opportunities, including training in rare book handling, research methods, and digital humanities. Scholars may also participate in monthly research salons and publish their work through our Folger research blog, The Collation.
