Fellows at the DHC are appointed for two academic years (fall 2019 - spring 2021), and typically receive a three-course teaching reduction among other perks.

Applicants are expected to propose a research project taking up the topic of “age,” broadly and  creatively construed.  Literal interpretations are acceptable (e.g., years, length of life, infancy,  senescence, elderliness, era, epoch)—and as the DHC will also be celebrating “The Year of the Child” in 2020-21, with special events focusing on such themes as child liberation, pregnancy, the history and ontology of the child, children’s literature, etc., we especially welcome applications that take up the topic in relation to questions of childhood.  However, creative readings of the  theme are also encouraged around the various questions that exist in all disciplines within the  humanities and across the university.  Thus, apart from projects focused on issues of young/old, projects taking up thoughtful interpretations of the theme (e.g., political eras, periodization in  general, the Age of Aquarius, the Golden Age of Television, time and change, birth and decay, etc.) are strongly encouraged.

 The DHC will award two or three fellowships under this topic.  Fellows will serve for two  academic years (fall 2019–spring 2021) and will typically receive a three-course teaching load  reduction during the time of their fellowship, as well as up to 120 hours of paid research assistance.  Fellows will present their work at the DHC, at a salon, and at a public event, and are expected to foster a spirit of camaraderie and cooperation across disciplines while at the Center.
