Comments:
The Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship for the Study of German History, Politics, Society, and Culture was launched in 2003 to enable promising American academics to probe issues of both historical and contemporary significance.
The American
Council on Germany's Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship is intended to
promote the cooperative study of Germany. Named in honor of the Harvard
historian who devoted much of his career to assisting and mentoring
younger scholars, this fellowship provides support for individuals
interested in the political, social, and cultural history of Germany.
The fellowship program aims to serve academics in relatively early stages of their careers (including individuals enrolled in Ph.D. programs who are finishing their dissertation). This fellowship is open to scholars with an academic affiliation and to those who are independent or have other professional associations. All applicants must hold United States citizenship. Applicants should demonstrate an interest in German political, social, and cultural affairs; however, no prior experience in Germany is required. While helpful, knowledge of the German language is not a prerequisite. Fellows are required to develop research itineraries in consultation with the American Council on Germany.
The Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship award covers the costs of pre-approved international and domestic travel and a per diem of $200 for up to 28 days in Germany. Following the completion of the trip, fellows submit a report summarizing their findings.
Fellows are selected through a competitive application process. The selection committee for the Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship will evaluate applications based on the following criteria: the contribution the project will make to a better understanding of German history (and more specifically, the political, social, and cultural components); the feasibility of the proposed project; the training of the applicant; and the scholarly potential of the applicant.URL: http://www.acgusa.org/about2.php?pagename=Fellowships&subpagename=For+Scholars&toppagename=Hunt+Fellowships&mlinkid=28
