2017-2018 Harry Ransom Center Research Fellowships in the Humanities at The University of Texas

The Harry Ransom Center, an internationally renowned humanities research library and museum at The University of Texas at Austin, annually awards more than 50 fellowships to support research projects in all areas of the humanities, including film.

The Center’s film collections include the papers of producers David O. Selznick and Lewis Allen, director Nicholas Ray, actors Gloria Swanson and Robert De Niro, screenwriters Ernest Lehman and Paul Schrader, acting teacher Stella Adler, special effects master Norman Dawn, and the Interstate Theatre Circuit, among others. For more information about the Center’s film collections, visit www.hrc.utexas.edu/collections/film.

The fellowships range from one to three months, with stipends of $3,000 per month. Also available are $1,200 to $1,700 travel stipends and dissertation fellowships with a $1,500 stipend. Fellowship residencies may be scheduled between June 1, 2017, and August 31, 2018. During the fellowship, scholars will work on-site at the Ransom Center in Austin, Texas. Austin is home to a thriving film community including the Austin Film Festival, Austin Film Society, and the South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival.

All applicants, with the exception of those applying for dissertation fellowships, must have a Ph.D. or be independent scholars with a substantial record of achievement.

Fellows will become part of a distinguished group of alumni. Since the fellowship program's inauguration in 1990, the Ransom Center has awarded fellowships to more than 1,000 scholars from around the world.
