[Linganth] Fwd: [RBS-MELLON] Circulate the SoFCB Application!

[Sonia Das]

Rare Book School’s Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical
Bibliography
<http://rarebookschool.org/admissions-awards/fellowships/sofcb/> invites
applications for its (2019-2020) fellowship cohort. The deadline is
*November 1, 2018.*
Continuing the work of the Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship in Critical
Bibliography (2012–17), this scholarly society works to advance the study
of texts, images, and artifacts as material objects through capacious,
interdisciplinary scholarship--and to enrich humanistic inquiry and
education by identifying, mentoring, and training promising early-career
scholars. Fellows will be encouraged and supported in integrating the
methods of critical bibliography into their teaching and research,
fostering collegial conversations about historical and emerging media
across disciplines and institutions, and sharing their knowledge with
broader publics. The fellowship includes tuition waivers for two Rare Book
School courses, as well as funding for scholars to participate in the
Society's Annual Meeting and Orientation. Additional funds are available
for fellows to organize symposia at their home institutions, and fellows
will have the option of attending a bibliographical field school to visit
libraries, archives, and collections in New York City.

The Society is committed to supporting diversity and to advancing the
scholarship of outstanding persons of every race, gender, sexual
orientation, creed, and socio-economic background, and to enhancing the
diversity of the professions and academic disciplines it represents,
including the professoriate, museums, libraries, archives, public
humanists, digital humanities, and the humanist academic disciplines. We
warmly encourage prospective applicants from a wide range of disciplines,
institutions, expertise, and interest.
