Short-Term Visiting Fellowships

The Glasscock Center Short-Term Visiting Fellowships bring distinguished scholars, artists, and performers to Texas A&M University. Both individuals and groups of the Texas A&M faculty may nominate Visiting Fellows who will contribute to the Glasscock Center’s mission to foster and celebrate the humanities and humanities research at Texas A&M. Fellows’ visits typically last five days, during which they are expected to give a public presentation of their work as well as engage with faculty and students via such activities as workshops and classroom visits. We ask that applicants for all Glasscock Center grants read our Climate and Inclusion Statement here.

Fellows will have an office in the Glasscock Center during their stay. The Texas A&M faculty sponsors are responsible for organizing visiting fellows’ activities and coordinating with Center staff on public events. Visiting fellows receive a $5,000 stipend in addition to travel and lodging expenses.

The short-term visiting fellowships may be combined with other activities on campus, such as participation in a conference; however, the activities during the fellowship must be additional.

The Center welcomes applications for both Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters. We also anticipate having a Fall 2023 deadline for the Spring 2024 semester. For priority consideration, please apply early. For the 2023-4 academic year, the next deadline is March 1, 2023.

Short-Term Visiting Fellowship Nomination

Fellows at a variety of career stages will be considered; however, they must be nationally recognized leaders or emerging leaders in their respective fields. Applications that can demonstrate how the visiting fellow would benefit both faculty and student research will be prioritized.
