AGHI Graduate Research Fellowship 2024-2025

Johns Hopkins, founded in 1876, is America's first research university and home to nine world-class academic divisions working together as one university.

Description

The Alexander Grass Humanities Institute (AGHI) accepts applications from Ph.D. students in the 13 humanities departments in KSAS, including the Anthropology, Political Theory, Sociology, and History of Medicine programs, to become AGHI Graduate Research Fellows during their fifth or sixth year. Applicants must be in the final stages of their dissertations with a high likelihood of completing them by the end of the academic year of the Fellowship.

Meet the current cohort of AGHI Fellows.

AGHI Graduate Research Fellows will be active members of AGHI for the entire academic year. The Fellowships:

• Provide funding for either the Fall 2025 or Spring 2026 semester
• Cover a full KSAS stipend, along with tuition costs equal to 20% of KSAS resident-student tuition, for one semester
• Are intended to replace any departmental teaching requirements for one semester
• Will come with access to AGHI space for work and meetings for the entire academic year

AGHI Fellows will be free to devote their time to writing with few distractions. They will only be expected to attend AGHI-sponsored events, meet twice monthly with a faculty mentor to workshop their dissertations, and participate in biweekly faculty fellowship lunch meetings. Fellows are expected to be in residence during the semester for which they receive funding.
