Widening the Arc of Trans History: Archival Research for Public Storytelling invites early career scholars in trans studies to uncover and share lesser-explored trans histories. This three-year project, funded by the Mellon Foundation, addresses the challenge of accessing and deeply engaging with trans archival materials, offering support to scholars interested in enriching and diversifying the field. This project is generously funded by the Mellon Foundation for Higher Learning and supported by the Penn State College of the Liberal Arts.
Who Can Apply: Early career U.S.-based humanities scholars who have completed their Ph.D. within the last five years.
Program Structure: An 8-10 person cohort will participate in a three-year program including fully funded summer research residencies at key trans archives, including the University of Victoria, and virtual workshops throughout the year covering topics such as: archival methods, trans archives, publishing, public storytelling, and non-fiction craft. In the third year, scholars will gather at Penn State-University Park for a symposium to share their work publicly.
Support Provided: All travel expenses are covered, along with an annual $1,000 stipend, $5000 towards a development editor for their first book, and ongoing support for writing and revision.
