The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) is pleased to invite applications for Luce/ACLS Dissertation Fellowships in American Art

The program supports graduate students pursuing research on the history of art and visual culture of the United States, including all aspects of Native American art, and who are at any stage of PhD dissertation research or writing. ACLS believes that humanistic scholarship benefits from inclusivity of voices, perspectives, narratives, and subjects that have historically been underrepresented in academe. We also believe that diversity enhances the scholarly enterprise, and we encourage applications from PhD candidates from all degree-granting institutions in the United States.

The program offers seven fellowships for a non-renewable, continuous nine- to twelve-month term to be held between July 2025 and May 2027. The fellowships may be carried out in residence at the fellow’s home institution or any other appropriate site for the research.

The total award of $42,000 includes a stipend and additional funds for travel and research. This program is made possible by the generous support of the Henry Luce Foundation.

Application deadline: October 30, 2024, 9:00 PM EDT
