Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center Fellowships

The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, one of the world's foremost institutions for research in literature and the arts, announces its 2006-2007 Research Fellowship Program.

Approximately 40 fellowships are awarded annually by the Ransom Center to support scholarly research projects in all areas of the humanities. Priority, however, will be given to those proposals that concentrate on the Center's collections and that require substantial on-site use of them.

This year's special topic will be "The Post-War Cultures of Twentieth-Century America". This topic corresponds with the Ransom Center's fall 2006 exhibition on Norman Mailer and American culture from 1945 to 1975, and its spring 2007 exhibition on America in the 1920s. The major wars of the twentieth century reshaped the American consciousness and left in their wake distinct post-war cultures. Special consideration will be given to research proposals that address any of these cultures.
