Summer Research Fellowships in Material Culture Studies
Up to twelve ten-week summer fellowships will be awarded to University of Delaware MA and PhD students in the arts, humanities, and social sciences pursuing research in material culture studies, broadly defined to include both the preservation and conservation of objects and the scholarly investigation of the relationship among people, material processes, and objects. Fellowship recipients will participate in a two-week Institute, June 1 – June 12, 2015, during which they will learn a variety of skills for engaging non-specialists through public speaking and digital media. The fellowship funds uninterrupted summer research on participants’ own projects. Click here for more information and for application instructions . . . ...Survivor Objects
