Overview

Who We Are The Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry (FCHI) is Emory University's hub for the Humanities, advancing research, writing, and creative works among faculty research fellows, postdoctoral fellows, PhD completion fellows and undergraduate honors research fellows. The Center convenes scholars across a wide range of disciplines, methods, and modes of creative practice, fostering individual and collaborative research as well as public engagement. We are dedicated to rigorous humanistic inquiry and an engaged intellectual community which reaches beyond the walls of the Center. Our Mellon-funded publishing initiative amplifies humanistic research through support for the open access publication of new monographs and events that bring authors into meaningful conversations with their audiences. Each year the Center anchors its programming and recruitment of Fellows around a central theme. For this academic year, our theme will be Democracy: Past, Present, Future. What We Do The FCHI is a focal point for humanities endeavors at Emory University and serves to advance research and teaching, overall, in the humanities. The FCHI serves both those trained in the humanities and also others in the University who are interested in humanistic issues. The FCHI is dedicated to providing occasions and spaces for encouraging intellectual community and scholarship across disciplines. In addition to offering broad general support to those engaged in humanistic research across the University, the FCHI runs an annual residential Fellows program to support immersive, long form humanistic scholarship. The Fellows Program welcomes Senior Fellows from Emory's tenured faculty and faculty visiting from Atlanta area institutions,  Emory Undergraduate Honors Fellows and Dissertation Completion Fellows, as well as Post-Doctoral Fellows selected from other institutions.  Fellows enjoy an academic year of research and scholarship, intellectual engagement and programs focused on the annual theme. FCHI Fellows take active roles in the life of the Fox Center and in the intellectual life of the larger University. The Fox Center is a hub for the development of novel methodologies, digital scholarship and publishing, and innovative interdisciplinary approaches to humanistic work and public engagement. Visiting Postdoctoral Fellows Program The Fox Center is pleased to welcome three visiting postdoc fellows each academic year. The purpose of the FCHI Postdoctoral Fellows Program is to stimulate and support rigorous and creative humanistic research among scholars in early stages of their careers.
