Summer Short-Term Fellowship, Black Metropolis Research Consortium, Chicago, IL

Posted January 14, 2025

Description

Through a rigorously reviewed international competition, the Black Metropolis Research Consortium offers one-month residential fellowships in Chicago for its Summer Short-term Fellowship Program.  Since 2009 our Fellowship Program has engaged scholars, artists, writers, and public historians to better formulate new historical narratives of the Black experience and to showcase Chicago’s extraordinarily significant historical role in African American history. The new, original research and art developed through this program are significant as they illuminate the national and international importance of Chicago to African American history.
