Penn Libraries Lorraine Beitler Research Fellowship

Housed in the Kislak Center, the Lorraine Beitler Collection of the Dreyfus Affair includes posters, broadsides, newspapers, magazines, letters, prints, caricatures, books, and postcards documenting the history of the Dreyfus Affair and its global impact on the art, society, and politics of France and the modern world.

The Lorraine Beitler Fellowship will be for a one-month duration and carries a stipend of $3500. The expectation is that the Fellow will be onsite at the Kislak Center for all or most of that time. Recipients will be expected to curate a small exhibit from materials in the collection and give a presentation on their research findings or larger project during the following academic year.

Applications are welcome from faculty, graduate students, independent scholars, teachers, lawyers, and journalists who are engaged in projects that bear on the historical lessons and enduring significance of the Dreyfus Affair. In keeping with the breadth of the Collection, we welcome proposals focusing on history, sociology, literature, Jewish studies, communications, political science, rhetoric, art history, law, or human rights.
