Fellowships at the Newberry Library are of two types: short-term fellowships with terms of one week to two months and long-term fellowships of six to eleven months. Short-term fellowships are generally restricted to individuals from outside the metropolitan Chicago area and are primarily intended to assist researchers with a need to examine specific items in the Library's collection. Long-term fellowships are generally available without regard to an applicant's place of residence and are intended to support significant works of scholarship that draw on the Library's strengths.
 
Center for the Humanities at Wesleyan
Besides supporting individual research and teaching projects, the Center is a place for sustained communication between the humanities and the social sciences. Its program each semester is organized around a focal theme, which shapes a weekly series of public lectures and smaller seminars. At these events, and in other, more informal settings, Wesleyan faculty, students, and visiting scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds carry on a wide-ranging inquiry into the social dimensions of the imagination and the imaginative dimensions of social life. As a meeting ground between the humanities and social sciences, between Wesleyan faculty and visitors, and between faculty and students, the Center for the Humanities is one of the key sites of intellectual life at Wesleyan.  
 
The Getty
Getty Scholar and Visiting Scholar Grants provide a unique research experience. Recipients are in residence at the Getty Research Institute or the Getty Villa in Malibu where they pursue their own projects free from academic obligations, make use of Getty collections, join their colleagues in a weekly meeting devoted to the current theme and participate in the intellectual life of the Getty.

2007/2008 William S. Vaughn Visiting Fellowship - Black Europe or Diaspora Studies in Europe  

(Themes change yearly) The Warren Center invites applications from scholars in all disciplines whose lively presence will help to focus our work and stimulate discussions. We expect that this seminar will attract colleagues from many contexts: from the fields of art and art history, film studies, literature and language, philosophy, history, classics, communication studies, religious studies, and the qualitative social sciences. We seek a visiting fellow with an interest in the visual arts, visual culture, literature and textuality both broadly and specifically conceived, along with a willingness to interrogate basic methodological and disciplinary assumptions. The seminar meets weekly and will allow the visiting fellow ample time to pursue a major research project. The combined interests of the visiting fellow and the Vanderbilt faculty fellows will determine the form and content of seminar discussions.
