May 12, 2026 - The Kaplan Humanities Institute is pleased to announce our cohort of 2026-2027 Faculty Fellows! These competitive residencies allow recipients either a full year of leave or a teaching reduction in order to develop their projects within our interdisciplinary community. We are also happy to introduce next year's Library Fellow and Library Affiliate! During their year-long residencies, the Library Fellow pursues their independent research project and the Library Affiliate serves as Library liaison at Kaplan.
Join us for a day of celebration, discussion, and dreaming about the public humanities at Northwestern! Drop in or come for the whole day for field notes session, lunch keynote, Embodied Experiences, project showcase, and award reception.
