Morton W. Bloomfield Visiting Scholar Program

Morton W. Bloomfield Visiting Scholar Program

The Morton W. Bloomfield Fund at Harvard University, in conjunction with
the Medieval Doctoral Conference of the Department of English, invites
applications to the Bloomfield Visiting Scholar Program. The program is
intended to assist scholars wishing to conduct research at Harvard over
a two- to four-week period during the regular academic year, in any of
the fields associated with Morton W. Bloomfield: particularly Old and
Middle English, the history of English, the history of Christian
thought, and medieval Jewish studies. We can offer $3000 in travel and
accommodation subsidy for one or more
selected scholars in these fields. Bloomfield fellows will give a
presentation of their work at the Medieval Doctoral Conference and might
informally also be asked to meet with graduate students or attend a
student seminar, as a temporary member of our community. Although
applications are open to anyone, preference will be given to younger
scholars who may benefit from access to Harvard’s resources. To apply,
please send a brief curriculum vitae, with a one-page
project proposal and the title of a possible talk, to Daniel
Donoghue, Department of English, Harvard University, 12 Quincy
Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, U.S.A. by 1 May 2009.
