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.
Our inaugural Global Fellowship Program is focused on the theme of unsettling. The concept of unsettling can be both literal and metaphorical. In a literal sense, unsettling involves land-back movements and decolonial practices that confront settler colonialism. In a metaphorical sense, unsettling catalyzes purposeful transformation through reimagining bodies, knowledge, methods, and systems. Above all, unsettling is a creative and resistant act that opens up possibilities for social change.
