International Society for the History of Rhetoric (ISHR) Research Grants

ISHR awards six research grants annually to support individuals engaged in advanced research related to the theory and practice of rhetoric in all periods and languages and the relationship of rhetoric to poetics, literary theory and criticism, philosophy, politics, religion, law, and other aspects of the socio-cultural context. Grants may not be used for research designed to further pedagogy in rhetorical speaking and writing. Grants are designed to support research projects that may be completed within one year. Grant recipients are expected to work full time on award projects for at least two months during the award year. To encourage early-career membership, ISHR will seek to award one of its annual grants to a promising graduate student and/or post-doc.
