Public Humanities Fellows

The Latinx Project Public Humanities Fellowship offers up to 10 graduate students from New York University or local institutions in the Inter-University Doctoral Consortium the opportunity to gain career experience with local arts & culture organizations. All graduate students are eligible to apply and select the nonprofit organization of their choice. This fellowship began out of a need to engage graduate students with field experience and opportunities to network and build community while advancing public humanities.
