Its goal is to cross the traditional boundaries imposed on academic institutions by bringing together international scholars to reexamine the meaning of art and artifacts within past and present cultures and to reassess their importance within the full scope of the humanities and social sciences. The resources for scholarship, which include books, manuscripts, prints, drawings, documents, and photographs, are multidisciplinary with a particular focus on the history of visual arts in Western civilization. The Center Fellowships provide support for predoctoral and postdoctoral scholars whose areas of research complement the programs and resources of the Center. Applications are welcomed from scholars in such fields of the humanities and social sciences as anthropology; cultural, intellectual, and social history; the history of art, architecture, and music; literary criticism and theory; and philosophy. Scholars may apply for either a predoctoral or postdoctoral Fellowship. The Fellowship category will be determined, however, by the applicant's degree status at the beginning of the Fellowship period. ================================================================ Predoctoral Fellowships Eligibility: Candidates for a doctorate in the humanities or social sciences who expect to complete their dissertations during the Fellowship year.
