The Stanford Humanities Center has named 21 fellows for the 2010-11 academic year. Chosen from a pool of nearly 500 applicants, including a record number of external applicants, the 2010-11 cohort comprises scholars from other institutions, as well as Stanford faculty and advanced Stanford graduate students. They will pursue individual research and writing for the full academic year while contributing to the Stanford community through their participation in workshops, lectures, and courses.
The Humanities Center will also host a series of month-long visitors throughout the year through two new programs: one for international scholars (jointly sponsored with the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies) and one for arts writer/practitioners (jointly sponsored with the Stanford Institute for Creativity and the Arts). These visitors, who were selected through a process of nomination by Stanford departments, will be announced separately.
