Henry F. May Fund: Call for Proposals 2025

We’re delighted to announce that we will award up to 2 Henry F. May Fund research fellowships to graduate students to use this summer, in the amount of $500 each.

To apply, please send your C.V., along with a brief description of your research topic and how it relates to U.S. intellectual history, and your planned use of the funds in 750 words or less. You’re welcome to use the funds as needed–to cover the cost of photocopies from archives, extra coffee, childcare needs, digital research training programs–just demonstrate HOW it will help you to conduct research and contribute to our field.

Applications must be submitted in a single .PDF or Word file, due 1 June 2025. Send all materials and questions to Sara Georgini via email: [email protected]

S-USIH Comment Policy

We ask that those who participate in the discussions generated in the Comments section do so with the same decorum as they would in any other academic setting or context. Since the USIH bloggers write under our real names, we would prefer that our commenters also identify themselves by their real name. As our primary goal is to stimulate and engage in fruitful and productive discussion, ad hominem attacks (personal or professional), unnecessary insults, and/or mean-spiritedness have no place in the USIH Blog’s Comments section. Therefore, we reserve the right to remove any comments that contain any of the above and/or are not intended to further the discussion of the topic of the post. We welcome suggestions for corrections to any of our posts. As the official blog of the Society of US Intellectual History, we hope to foster a diverse community of scholars and readers who engage with one another in discussions of US intellectual history, broadly understood.
