The D'Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian History and the Newberry Library will award one long-term fellowship and a series of short-term fellowships each year from 2002-2005 to encourage teaching and research in American Indian Studies. Each fellow will have the opportunity to research in the Newberry Collections related to American Indian history, participate in an active community of scholars, and present research in a D'Arcy McNickle Center Seminar.
Long Term Fellowships:
These fellowships support residential research in American Indian Studies by postdoctoral scholars. We are especially interested in projects that explore the diversity of American Indian communities, various ways of knowing and telling American Indian histories, and/or interdisciplinary issues in American Indian studies. Long-term fellows will have the chance to present their research to the Newberry Library's Fellows' Seminar. The tenure of this fellowship is a minimum of ten months with a stipend of $40,000.
