Rare Book School (RBS) is now offering an exciting fellowship opportunity for those teaching undergraduates about book history: the M. C. Lang Fellowship in Book History, Bibliography, and Humanities Teaching with Historical Sources. The Lang Fellowship is a two-year program designed to animate humanities teaching and equip educators at liberal arts colleges and small universities (i.e., 5,000 or fewer undergraduates) in the United States to enlarge their students’ historical sensibilities through bibliographically informed instruction with original historical sources. The deadline to apply is Thursday, 1 December 2022, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Rare Book School invites everyone interested in applying to attend a free informational Zoom session about the program on Tuesday, 1 November 2022, 7–8 p.m. ET. Click here to register. Registrants will receive the Zoom link via email by 1 November. The session will be recorded and shared at a later date via Rare Book School’s YouTube channel.
The M. C. Lang Fellowship includes:
- tuition waivers for two RBS courses,
- an annual stipend of $1,500 for travel, housing, course books, and other costs related to the Fellow’s RBS course attendance,
- and the opportunity to apply for matching funds of up to $1,000 each year of the fellowship to further the Fellow’s efforts to foster book-historical humanities teaching at their home institution.
