Andrew Carnegie Fellows 2018
The purpose of the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program is to support high-caliber scholarship in the social sciences and humanities, making it possible for the recipients to devote time to research and writing that addresses pressing issues and cultural transitions affecting us at home and abroad.
Each nominator may put forward a maximum of two scholars. Nominators from universities may nominate one junior and one senior scholar. Regardless of title, a junior scholar is defined as someone who received his/her Ph.D. within the last ten years, 2008-2018, for the 2018 fellowship program.
Pre-nominations can be made by Departmental or Unit chairs and take the form of a letter describing how a particular faculty member’s research addresses one of the four topic areas that will be considered by the 2018 Carnegie Fellows program (see attached).

- Strengthening U.S. democracy and exploring new narratives
