The fellow chosen for the 2002-2003 academic year would focus on the period 1640-1800, the European Enlightenment, and their research would be appropriate for Volume 4 of the Madison-based History of Cartography Project. The two-month residence, to be taken at any time between July 2002 and June 2003, will be at the Institute for Research in the Humanities, which will provide office space and the other facilities and support given to scholars at the Institute. Participation in the scholarly community of the Institute is expected. The stipend is $3,500 per month for two months. The selection of the fellow will be made on the recommendation of the Institute for Research in the Humanities Executive Committee. The Institute for Research in the Humanities (1959), the first institute in North America devoted solely to the support and encouragement of humanistic scholarship, is housed in the historic Washburn Observatory (1878), overlooking Lake Mendota on the University of Wisconsin campus. The Institute supports research in the traditional humanistic areas of literature, history, philosophy, and culture; it also promotes interdisciplinary scholarship, while cultivating methodological diversity and breadth. The University of Wisconsin Libraries are particularly well suited to humanistic and cartographic scholarship.
