2022-2023 Kaplan Faculty Fellows Announced!
April 28, 2022
Congratulations to the new cohort of Faculty Fellows for 2022-2023! Juried by humanities faculty from outside Northwestern, this competitive residency enables Northwestern faculty to pursue independent projects of significance to the humanities while immersed in an interdisciplinary community of scholars.
