Full-time faculty (including term faculty), staff, advanced Ph.D. students, and MA students engaged in a thesis project at American University are eligible to apply. Truck Fellows are expected to build a collaborative process that involve community partners in each phase of their projects, from research and documentation, to interpretation, and scholarly creation in the form of accessible exhibitions and performances.</p> <p>Proposed projects need to make a case for the <strong>Centrality of the Humanities Truck</strong> to the project, articulate a significant <strong>Social Justice Impact</strong> and <strong>Community Relevance</strong>, have a clear <strong>Emphasis on the Arts and Humanities</strong>, and involve <strong>Community Collaboration</strong>. Throughout the year, Truck Fellows will meet together to reflect upon the effective practices of community-engaged scholarship, and also to share the findings of their own projects. Fellows will receive <strong>$10,000</strong> for these year-long projects. There is funding to support six<strong> </strong>projects.</p> <p><a href="http://humanitiestruck.com/truck-fellowship/" onmouseout="glblLinkHandler(this,'textDecoration','none');" onmouseover="glblLinkHandler(this,'textDecoration','underline');" style="text-decoration:none; cursor:hand;">Applications for Humanities Truck Fellowship</a>s for the September 1, 2023- August 31, 2024 season are <strong>due 5 pm on July 24, 2023</strong> via email to <a href="mailto:humanitiestruck@gmail.com" onmouseout="glblLinkHandler(this,'textDecoration','none');" onmouseover="glblLinkHandler(this,'textDecoration','underline');" style="text-decoration:none; cursor:hand;">humanitiestruck@gmail.com</a>.
