The Theodore Rousseau Fellowship supports scholars whose projects require travel for close study of painting collections in Europe. This is the only fellowship that does not require residency at The Met. The structure of the fellowship encourages broad connections with European institutions, allowing fellows to engage with works of art, archives, and scholarly communities beyond The Met.

Aims

The Stavro Skendi Book Prize for Achievement in Albanian Studies is presented every year to a book that makes an outstanding contribution to and advances research in Albanian Studies. Albanian Studies is a broadly defined research area of original, scholarly work that enhance and expand knowledge of Albanian societies across geo-political borders, time periods, and disciplinary confines. The Prize committee will consider single-case studies, original research, comparative research, and any theoretical and empirical contributions pertinent to the area of Albanian Studies.
