PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The School for Advanced Research
(SAR) awards six Resident Scholar Fellowships each year to scholars who
have
completed their research and analysis and who need time to think and write
about topics important to the understanding of humankind. Resident
scholars may approach their research from the perspective of anthropology
or from anthropologically informed perspectives in such fields as history,
sociology, art, law, and philosophy. Both humanistically and
scientifically oriented scholars are encouraged to apply.
SAR provides Resident Scholars with low-cost housing and office space on campus, a stipend
up to $40,000, library assistance, and other benefits during a nine-month
tenure, from September 1 through May 31. SAR Press may consider books
written by resident scholars for publication in its Resident
Scholar Series.
The Resident Scholar Program is supported by the Weatherhead Foundation, the Katrin
H. Lamon Endowment for Native American Art and Education, and SAR.
