CHAT Advanced Graduate Scholar 
Dissertation Writing Fellowship

 
Applications Due TODAY
Monday, March 25, 2024
5:00 pm EDT

The CHAT Advanced Graduate Scholar Dissertation Writing Fellowship has changed. This fellowship is for two consecutive semesters (fall and spring) in a given academic year (pending budget availability). This fellowship is intended to help graduate students who are in advanced stages of writing. The ideal candidate will have collected their data/completed analyses, have started writing at the time of application, and will be on track to complete their dissertation in Spring 2025.
Students who plan to graduate in Fall 2024 are not eligible.  Fellowship recipients are required to attend and participate in the biweekly CHAT Seminar where a fellow provides a piece of writing to the group, and we workshop that writing over lunch. Graduate students will be required to submit a complete dissertation chapter, and faculty fellows may submit a book chapter, article, or other long-format piece of writing. Graduate students will be expected to participate in regular check-ins and to participate in group conversations with peers and faculty about their writing. Fellows are also expected to attend CHAT lectures/events over the academic year and otherwise be part of the life of the center.  Selection of Fellows will be done via series of steps. The first step is to complete this form by 5:00 pm EDT, March 25.
Finalists will be contacted by email on or before March 29 for additional information. At that time, letters of support may also be requested from faculty mentors.

The Center for the Humanities at Temple (CHAT) serves as a forum for advanced scholarship in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. It brings together Temple scholars from across the university to share research, discuss works in progress, and engage in lively intellectual exchanges around thematic clusters. CHAT encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration, builds an intellectual community, re-energizes teaching, and strengthens the profile of the humanists within and beyond the university. The center awards grants and fellowships, organizes public lectures, sponsors conferences, operates the biweekly CHAT Fellows Seminar, and hosts both the Distinguished Faculty Lecture Series and a yearly thematic speaker series.

CHAT is supported by the College of Liberal Arts. Additional major funding is provided by the Klein College of Media and Communication, and the Tyler School of Art and Architecture.
