MiamiOH OARS on 15 Jul 13The C.V. Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience invites applications for its full-time residential writing fellowship, which supports outstanding writing on American history and culture by both scholars and nonacademic authors. The deadline for applications for the 2014-15 Patrick Henry Writing Fellowship is November 1, 2013. The Center's Patrick Henry Writing Fellowship includes a $45,000 stipend, health benefits, faculty privileges, a book allowance, and a nine-month residency (during the academic year 2014-15) in historic Chestertown, Md. Applicants should have a significant book-length project currently in progress. The project should address the history and/or legacy - broadly defined - of the American Revolution and the nation's founding ideas. It might focus on the founding era itself, or on the myriad ways the questions that preoccupied the nation's founders have shaped America's later history. Work that contributes to ongoing national conversations about America's past and present, with the potential to reach a wide public, is particularly sought.
