The Institute for Advanced Study is coordinating the internal review and selection process to determine the University’s single nomination for a Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar. Seminars typically meet for one year and bring together faculty, staff, visitors, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from a variety of fields, mainly, but not exclusively, in the arts, humanities, and interpretive social sciences, for intensive study of subjects chosen by the participants. Participation from nearby communities and institutions is also encouraged. Budget: Up to $225,000. Proposals for the internal review process are due at noon on Tuesday, March 1, 2022.

Join the Institute for Advanced Study and past Sawyer Seminar applicants and participants for an information session on Friday, February 18. There will be opportunities to talk with other interested applicants, and potential team members.
