Humanities Fellows 2025-2026

Franco Institute Humanities Fellowships allow faculty in the College of Arts & Letters to devote full-time effort to research and writing while providing a forum for sharing and discussing their work in progress.

Each fellow receives a release from teaching and service responsibilities for one semester, up to $5,000 in research funds, and support for a chapter/article manuscript workshop with external reviewers.
