Eccles Centre Garrison Keillor Fellowship

The Eccles Centre for American Studies at the British Library invited applications for the Garrison Keillor Fellowship.

This was a one-off award of £2,250 for travel and other expenses connected with the award-holder’s research visit to work at the British Library in London. The Garrison Keillor Fellowship was open to both post-graduates and post-doctoral scholars normally resident in the UK.

Projects proposed by applicants could be in any discipline but related in some way to the American Mid-West. The projects entail the use of the British Library collections, and the award holders are be expected to be in research residence at the British Library for a minimum of one month. The project must be completed before September 30th 2013.

The award winners are Dr Marina Moskowitz and Dr Alexander T. Smith.

The Eccles Centre is pleased to acknowledge the support of the US Embassy for this award.
