The Nathan and Jeanette Miller Center for Historical Studies at the University of Maryland invites applications for two Miller Center Short-Term Residencies. In the 2012-13 academic year, the theme of the Miller Center’s programming will be “Constructing Historical Knowledge: Historians Confront Categories of Discourse.” (For a detailed description of the theme, visit www.history.umd.edu/HistoryCenter/).
The successful applicant will receive coverage of travel expenses, room and board, and a stipend of $800 per week (for a minimum of one and a maximum of three weeks). In addition, each Miller Short-Term Resident Scholar will receive a $500 honorarium for presenting an unpublished paper at one of the Center’s workshops. The topic of the paper should be relevant to the chosen theme for the academic year.
The application material should include a CV and list of references, a 100-word abstract describing the subject of the workshop paper, and an 800-word proposal illustrating how the applicant’s research is pertinent to the Center’s yearly theme. Faculty, independent scholars, and advanced doctoral students are invited to apply. We welcome inquiries and electronic submissions of application material at umdhistorycenter@gmail.com. The deadline for submission is June 21, 2012.
