Overview
The Center’s Patrick Henry Writing Fellowship includes a $45,000 stipend, health benefits, faculty privileges, a book allowance, and a nine-month residency (during the academic year 2010-11) in a restored circa-1735 house in historic Chestertown, Md.
Prospective recipients of the Patrick Henry Fellowship should have a significant book-length project currently in progress. The project should address the history and/or legacy – broadly defined – of the American Revolution and the nation’s founding ideas. It might focus on the founding era itself, or on the myriad ways the questions that preoccupied the framers have shaped historical developments between the 18th century and the present. Work that contributes to ongoing national conversations about America’s past and present, with the potential to reach a wide public, is particularly sought.
Applications from published writers and established scholars are welcome. Dissertation projects will not be considered; first book projects are likewise discouraged, unless the applicant has an otherwise extensive publication history. Candidates who have completed the majority of their research and are focused on the writing phase of their projects are especially encouraged to apply.
Applications should include the following:
A cover letter;
The applicant’s curriculum vitae, including a list of past publications, as well as the names and telephone numbers of at least three references;
At least one substantial sample of the candidate’s writing (published or unpublished);
A short (1-2 paragraph) description of a course that the candidate might teach;
A brief but persuasive narrative description of the work-in-progress, its potential contributions to ongoing national conversations or debates, and the candidate’s plan for his or her fellowship year.
Enquiries
Questions may be directed to Associate Director Jill Ogline Titus at jtitus2@washcoll.edu.
Deadline for the 2010-11 Fellowship is February 15, 2010. Applications may be submitted via email to starr_center@washcoll.edu, or mailed to:
