Fellowships Awarded to 52 Scholars

May 9, 2023 - Harry Ransom Center

Fellowships Awarded to 52 Scholars

The Ransom Center has awarded 52 fellowships for the upcoming year to postdoctoral, dissertation and independent researchers studying a wide array of topics, from Tennessee Williams’ visual self portraits to 1980s Hollywood Gothic, Deborah Hay and the choreographer as archivist, literary estates and copyright, the Nigerian Civil War and Nigerian contemporary art, and more.

Since 1990, the Ransom Center Fellowship Program has supported more than 1,250 research projects requiring extensive onsite use of the Ransom Center’s collections and resulting in the publication of books, journal articles and doctoral theses. Fellowships are awarded for projects that span the Center’s collections in literature, performing arts, film, photography, and art.

Fellowship types vary, including one- to three-month fellowships, travel stipends and dissertation fellowships. Several individual donors and organizations fund the program.

The 2023-2024 fellows reflect the global stature of the collections, representing 12 U.S. states and 11 countries, with half traveling from abroad.

See the table below for the full list of recipients.
