Public Humanities Fellows

Program overview

Meet the 2022 Public Humanities Fellows and learn about their projects here.

Humanities Washington’s new Public Humanities Fellows program aims to bring innovative public humanities programming to underserved communities around the state.  

The public humanities is a vibrant field that shares the humanities outside of academic circles, but there are too few opportunities for hands-on training and professional development. The Public Humanities Fellows program aims to change that by offering a stipend and support to early-career humanists based in Washington (including graduate students, non-profit professionals, untenured professors, culture bearers, and other humanities experts) who are seeking to develop their program management and public humanities skills. This is the first paid public humanities fellowship of its kind in Washington State, either inside or outside of academia. 

Fellows receive a stipend of $5000 and up to $3500 to fund the public humanities project, as well as professional development opportunities, technical assistance and mentorship from public humanities professionals, and regular meetings with a cohort of other fellows. Humanists from communities who are underrepresented in the humanities are especially encouraged to apply.

We will accept applications for the next cohort of Public Humanities Fellows in early 2023. Subscribe to our mailing list to stay up-to-date.

Our Mission

Humanities Washington opens minds and bridges divides by creating spaces to explore different perspectives.

"It isn't enough to say we 'need' the humanities because we ARE the humanities. They are gifts to us from our predecessors, ancestors, and contemporaries. They represent the imagination, [the] innovative, and ask us to think deeply—as the greatest philosophers and artists have always asked us for the last 2,500 years—about our experience, and to think beyond the various intellectually lazy forms of ideology circulating in America today."

Charles Johnson

Author and National Book Award winner for Middle Passage
