Just a quick reminder that the application deadline for the 2010-11 Hodson
Trust-John Carter Brown Fellowship is March 15, 2010.

The Hodson-Brown Fellowship supports work by academics, independent scholars
and writers working on significant projects relating to the literature,
history, culture, or art of the Americas before 1830.

Candidates with a U.S. history topic are strongly encouraged to concentrate on
the period prior to 1801. The fellowship is also open to filmmakers, novelists,
creative and performing artists, and others working on projects that draw on
this period of history.

The fellowship award supports two months of research (conducted at the John
Carter Brown Library in Providence, R.I.) and two months of writing (at
Washington College in Chestertown, Md). Housing and university privileges will
be provided. The fellowship includes a stipend of $5,000 per month for a total
of $20,000.
