The Great Issues Forum Fellowships
Commencing in September 2008, The Center for the Humanities will begin hosting The Great Issues Forum, sponsored jointly by the Chancellor’s Office and the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Each year the Forum will explore a critical issue of our time, chosen by distinguished Graduate Center faculty, through a series of public events, seminars, and workshops. As a part of this unique program, the Center for the Humanities is offering a series of fellowships for CUNY faculty and PhD students whose current work sheds light on the topic of the Great Issues Forum’s first theme, Power in the Contemporary World.

Andrew W. Mellon Fellowships in the Humanities
For six consecutive years, the Center for the Humanities has awarded grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to develop interdisciplinary “working groups” on various themes in the humanities. These groups are meant to help construct and maintain spaces at CUNY where faculty members and advanced graduate students can exchange ideas, share their work in an open setting, and participate in collaborative projects with colleagues whose research and writing is motivated by different perspectives and methodologies.

Public Humanities Fellowships
In partnership with The New York Council for the Humanities, The Center for the Humanities offers “Public Humanities Fellowships” designed to expose graduate students in the humanities to work in the public realm and to encourage excellence in the public humanities in New York State.
The Public Humanities Fellow plays a key role in the Council’s Reading Between the Lines book discussion program, which engages members of the public in facilitated conversations about books chosen to illuminate significant themes in American history, culture, and life. During the course of the fellowship, the Fellow develops and facilitates a new four-session Reading Between the Lines series, which becomes part of the roster of series available to non-profit organizations around the state. The Fellow also takes part a training session and several discussions focused on issues related to public humanities with their counterpart from the University at Buffalo, SUNY.
