The Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities

Columbia University

Founded in 1975 to support postdoctoral research in the humanities, the Society of Fellows in the Humanities at Columbia University is today the Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities (SOF/Heyman)--dedicated not only to fostering innovative scholarship, but also to applying the critical, reflective, and interpretive practices of the humanities to address real-world challenges. Through workshops, conferences, lectures, seminars, performances, and [public humanities collaborations](https://sofheyman.org/public-humanities/overview), the SOF/Heyman offers opportunities for faculty, postdoctoral scholars, students, artists, practitioners, and community members to participate in cross-disciplinary inquiry that is intent on illuminating the past, engaging the present, and imagining new ways to produce knowledge that promotes the public good.

As part of our commitment to fostering a vibrant intellectual community that encourages connections between scholars of various disciplines and at different career stages, the SOF/Heyman offers several fellowship opportunities for graduate students and faculty, both at Columbia University and beyond:
