The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminars on the Comparative Study of Cultures
Posted in Announcement | Tagged Funding, Limited Submission
The Mellon Foundation’s Sawyer Seminars awards up to $225,000 to bring together faculty, foreign visitors, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from a variety of fields mainly, but not exclusively, in the arts, humanities, and interpretive social sciences, for intensive study of subjects chosen by the participants. Proposals that include concrete plans for engaging participants with diverse institutional and disciplinary affiliations are encouraged. Georgetown University has been invited to submit one grant application.
Each seminar normally meets for one year, though some have continued for longer periods. To allow for planning, seminars need not be scheduled for the coming academic year. Sawyer Seminar awards provide support for one postdoctoral fellow and the dissertation research of two graduate students, who are expected be active participants in the intellectual life of the seminar. Seminars are not expected to produce a written product, though many do.
