Call for Visiting Fellowship Applications
The fellowship programs at Bard Graduate Center are designed to further the institution’s goal of promoting research in the areas of decorative arts, design history, and material culture—what we call “cultural histories of the material world.”
We invite scholars from university, museum, and independent backgrounds with a PhD or equivalent professional experience to apply for non-stipendiary Visiting Fellowships to take place during the 2025–26 academic year. Intended for scholars who have already secured means of funding, these fellowships provide scholars with workspace in the BGC Research Center and enable them to join our dynamic, intellectual, and scholarly community in New York City.
Visiting Fellowships represent BGC’s commitment to conversation and scholarly communication. We are happy to welcome scholars who similarly seek a serious but informal intellectual environment in which to pursue their work in decorative arts, design history, and material culture. Visiting Fellows are invited for four months in the fall or spring semester, though we may consider exceptions under unique circumstances. We do not reimburse fellows for travel, relocation, housing, or visa-related costs in connection with this fellowship award. Please note that we prioritize applicants who have not previously held a BGC fellowship.
Applications are due Saturday, March 1, 2025, at 11:59 pm EST.
