The Chicago Humanities Festival Fellowship
The Chicago Humanities Festival Fellowship is a competitive nine month opportunity awarded to an outstanding graduate student from Northwestern University. The fellowship provides each student with the following: working experience in the country’s leading public humanities organization, access to world-renowned humanities scholars, interaction with Chicago’s top cultural institutions, and a mentored team environment in which to build varied skills for future employment. Students are expected to make progress on their dissertation research and writing while working at CHF; the opportunity is designed to approximate typical assistantship time commitments and responsibilities.
Principal Responsibilities:
- Work with the Artistic Director, Matti Bunzl and the program team to research and develop a set of programs for the fall Festival
- Develop ideas for high-quality content and make content requests of Festival presenters
- For assigned fall Festival programs, manage the core communications with participants regarding the actual programs, including live program, web content, and presenter logistics
- Write and edit blogs
- Create rich media content from video and/or audio captured from Festival programs
