Rare Book School’s Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical
Bibliography (SoFCB) invites applications for its 2021–23 cohort of
junior fellows. The deadline is Monday, 2 November 2020.
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. Junior 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 Junior Fellows 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 a major
metropolitan area. After completing two years in good standing as
Junior Fellows, program participants will have the option to become
Senior Fellows in the Society.
The Society is committed to supporting diversity and to advancing the
scholarship of outstanding persons of every race, gender, sexual
orientation, creed, and socioeconomic background, and to enhancing the
diversity of the professions and academic disciplines it represents,
including those of the professoriate, museums, libraries, archives,
public humanities, and digital humanities. We warmly encourage
prospective applicants from a wide range of disciplines, institutions,
and areas of expertise.

or to those who might advise early-career scholars with an interest in
the study of material objects.
With many thanks, and apologies for cross-posting,
