Luce Foundation Dissertation Fellowships in American Art

Call for Applications

Deadline: October 24, 2012

American Council for Learned Societies Accepting Applications for Luce Foundation Dissertation Fellowships in American Art
Ten fellowships providing stipends of $25,000 and up to $2,000 as a travel allowance are available for a non-renewable, one-year term beginning between June and September 2013 for the 2013-14 academic year for graduate students at any stage of Ph.D. dissertation research or writing. The fellowships may be carried out in residence at the fellow's home institution, abroad, or at another appropriate site for the research. The fellowships may not be used to defray tuition costs or be held concurrently with any other major fellowship or grant.

Applicants must be a Ph.D. candidate in a department of art history in the United States. A student with an appropriate project whose degree will be granted by another department is eligible only if the principal dissertation advisor is in a department of art history. (Students preparing theses for the Master of Fine Arts degree are not eligible.) Candidates must have a dissertation focused on a topic in the history of the visual arts of the United States. Although the topic may be historically and/or theoretically grounded, attention to the art object and/or image should be foremost. Projects must be object-oriented and use art-historical or visual studies approaches. Proposals whose emphases are predominantly socio-historical will not be considered. Applicants must have completed all requirements for the Ph.D. except the dissertation before beginning fellowship tenure, and must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
