January 9, 2023 – The Hertog Foundation announced 60 fellows for its 2023 Humanities at Hertog Fellowships. Our Humanities fellows will spend their January studying great works of literature alongside outstanding peers and a passionate teacher.

 

Works by Jane Austen, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Edith Wharton, and Aldous Huxley will anchor the four online seminars. Capped at 15 fellows, each course offers lively conversation about the fundamental human questions raised by great novels.
