External Fellows:
Both short-term and long-term fellowships are available throughout the year. The host university is on the semester system.
Although most fellows are senior faculty on sabbatical, fellowships may be awarded to advanced Ph.D. students and junior faculty.
During the average academic year, the Center is host to three to four fellows.
Eligibility:
The Center accepts visiting scholars on sabbatical or foundation grants as well as independent scholars. Individuals should
apply directly to the Center by presenting a clear outline of the proposed research activities and indicating how residence
at the Center will enhance the project. A current curriculum vita and names and phone numbers of at least two references should
be provided.
Terms of Appointment:
Fellows are expected to pursue their own research utilizing the unparalleled resources of the Browne Popular Culture Library and/or the Music Library and Sound Recordings Archives within the Jerome University Library. Generally, there are no monetary awards associated with these fellowships, although
there are occasional paid teaching opportunities and, in rare instances, modest grants to defray some of the costs associated
with a fellow's research efforts. Fellows are afforded access to computers, desk space, limited secretarial assistance, and
special access privileges to the Library collections. All Center functions are available to fellows, including opportunities
to share their research during formal colloquia and informal "brown bag lunch" programs. Insofar as possible, Center fellows
are treated as members of the faculty of the Department of Popular Culture with regard to programming and social activities.
Notes
Information on general and specific library holdings is available on request from the Browne Popular Culture Library and Music Library and Sound Recordings Archives at Bowling Green State University. Potential fellows are encouraged to make advance inquiries concerning the ability of the
research collections to support the planned research program.
