Lorraine Beitler Research Fellowship

The Lorraine Beitler Research Fellowship is a bi-annual, one-month fellowship offered by the Kislak Center at the University of Pennsylvania. It supports scholars interested in working with the extensive resources of the Lorraine Beitler Collection of the Dreyfus Affair, which includes posters, broadsides, newspapers, magazines, letters, prints, caricatures, books, and postcards documenting the history of the Dreyfus Affair and its global impact. The fellowship is designed for faculty, graduate students, independent scholars, teachers, lawyers, and journalists engaged in projects that bear on the historical lessons and enduring significance of the Dreyfus Affair. In keeping with the breadth of the collection, proposals are welcome focusing on history, sociology, literature, Jewish studies, communications, political science, rhetoric, art history, law, or human rights. Fellows will also have access to the wide-ranging collections of the Kislak Center, including the collections of the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies. Recipients are expected to be onsite at the Kislak Center for all or most of the one-month duration and to give a presentation on their research findings or larger project during the following academic year.
