The Humanities Center Global Fellowship program brings together Northeastern faculty and graduate student Humanities scholars from our Boston, London, and Oakland campuses. The Fellowship program provides a focused period for Northeastern Humanities Fellows to pursue dedicated research, collaborate around a common theme, and share their work with the global Northeastern community.    

2026 – 2027 “Revolutions” Global Fellowship Program

Our inaugural Global Fellowship Program is focused on the theme of revolutions. A revolution signals a foundational shift in action and thought. Whether they take the form of political uprisings, social movements, or collective struggles, revolutions transform our understanding of the world and our place in it by remaking our epistemologies and modes of relating. The word “revolution” also carries a physical and astronomical meaning: a full turn, a return, or a cyclical rotation. A revolution can signal either a dramatic break with the past or the completion of a cycle. Hence revolutions can serve as an entry point to discussions about the nature of change, progress, disruption, and time in our societies
