Overview

About Us The North American Conference on British Studies (NACBS) is a scholarly society dedicated to all aspects of the study of British history, literature, society and culture. The NACBS sponsors a scholarly journal, the Journal of British Studies, online publications, an annual conference, as well as several academic prizes, graduate fellowships, and undergraduate essay contests. NACBS-Folger Institute Fellowship The Folger Institute and the NACBS offer a fellowship for scholars of the British world who are working on topics from the early modern period through to the present day. While the Folger is rightly known as a destination for early modernists, this fellowship also encourages use of its extraordinary 18th-, 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-century collections in modern Britain and the British Empire. Folger short-term fellowships support scholars whose work would benefit from significant primary research for one, two, or three months, with a monthly stipend of $5,000 for in-residence and $4,000 for virtual. For the 2025-26 fellowship year, short-term fellows will have the option to take short-term fellowships fully onsite, fully virtual, or a combination of the two. Applicants may propose any research schedule that best fits their project’s needs.
