Carter G. Woodson Institute

The Woodson Institute has earned international acclaim as a magnet for some the world’s best graduate students in the humanities and social sciences, creating a collaborative, supportive, and interdisciplinary environment for innovative scholarship. The fellowship program provides scholars time to complete their research before they jump into the responsibilities of teaching full time; at the same time, Woodson Fellows are immersed in a community of scholars who bring the perspectives of their various disciplines to bear on advancing each other’s scholarship during monthly workshops. In these regular workshops, pre and post-doctoral fellows receive feedback on dissertation or manuscript chapters from a guest interlocutors , the director of Fellowships, and their colleagues in the fellowship program.
