About the Peter J. Gomes Memorial Book Prize

The Peter J. Gomes Memorial Book Prize is an annual award that honors the memory of the Reverend Professor Peter J. Gomes, a Harvard scholar and a respected and beloved Fellow of the Massachusetts Historical Society for almost thirty-five years. Reverend Professor Gomes had a deep and enduring interest in the history of his native state, so it is only fitting that this award should recognize exemplary work on a subject that meant a great deal to him.

The Reverend Professor Peter J. Gomes

The Reverend Professor Gomes believed profoundly in the importance of imagination, not as simple escapism or fantasy but rather as a transcendent path to a better world.

Peter Gomes was elected to the Massachusetts Historical Society in 1976. He was the Plummer Professor of Christian Morals and Pusey Minister in the Memorial Church, Harvard University. Born in 1942, he was a proud Plymouth native and had a long and fruitful career both as a scholar and a preacher. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Bates College, as well as a Bachelor's of Sacred Theology from Harvard Divinity School, and received dozens of honorary degrees from other institutions. In his study of history, he specialized in early America, particularly Massachusetts. A legendary preacher and orator, he delighted in stimulating the minds of his listeners. His unexpected passing in 2011 was deeply felt by all who knew him.

Reverend Professor Gomes was a charismatic man who loved history and who loved to teach. He believed in the importance of expanding the mind and was invited to give Baccalaureate speeches at colleges and universities all over the nation. In an interview for Big Think (viewable at bigthink.com and on YouTube), he observed that he almost invariably quoted Romans 12:2, "Do not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind." In a similar vein, historical scholars, at the core of what they do, seek to understand the world as it once was. They redraw vanished landscapes and recarve ghostly paths, and are changed during that process. Quality historical engagement pulls an old world from between the leaves of dusty books and out of the pages of faded letters, to be released into modernity once again.

Above all, Peter Gomes believed in the power of imagination to create a better world. He subscribed to the belief in what the Christian scriptures refer to as a fallen world, or a world that has yet to achieve its ideals. In another Big Think interview, he said, "We are struggling, and moving towards [our ideals], and trying to manage as best we can. And certain ideals have been set before us." For Reverend Professor Gomes, Jesus, as a man and a prophet, provided an ideal marked by "theological power or the sense of imagination that is employed." The study of history provides a similar opportunity. While historical figures were no more or less human than their modern counterparts, they can provide an example of conduct in perilous times that people can emulate or avoid.

Boston Review

Announcing a fellowship to prepare and support the next generation of Black journalists, editors, and publishers.

Boston Review is now accepting applications for the Black Voices in the Public Sphere Fellowship, designed to prepare and support the next generation of Black journalists, editors, and publishers.

It is no secret that there is a profound lack of diversity in the media. Our new fellowship is intended to address this problem, building on Boston Review's long-term and deep commitment to publishing work on race and racial justice. "There are not many publications that can match Boston Review's commitment to publishing Black thinkers, giving space to debates about Black liberation from across the political spectrum, or insisting on the significance of race in broader questions of justice, democracy, and citizenship," Boston Review contributor Brandon Terry noted during our 2020 panel on Black Lives Matter.

Despite much hand-wringing about the lack of diversity in the media, the industry remains an overwhelmingly white profession-largely because of the exclusive network that lands young people their first media jobs, as well as the low entry-level salaries. The New York Times recently reported that the people who edit the ten most-read magazines are all white. The lack of diversity in the media industry reflects the widely known reality that historically marginalized and oppressed voices still receive fewer opportunities than their white peers-in access, in leadership positions, and, significantly, in influencing the shape of public discourse in the United States.

" Boston Review has always believed that the open discussion of ideas is a public good that everyone should be able to access and participate in," says Deborah Chasman, co-editor-in-chief of Boston Review. "With this program, we are putting that belief into practice, by nurturing a cohort of emerging professionals who are not only well-equipped to enter the media and diversify major institutions but committed to enlarging the landscape of ideas in the industry."

The program is designed to provide aspiring Black media professionals with training, mentorship, networking opportunities, and workshops. With the guidance of Boston Review editors and professional mentors, fellows will develop projects to be published online or in print. These projects will take different forms depending on fellows' interests-from writing a series of columns to curating a series of essays, designing forums, moderating live debates, and facilitating interviews.

The advisory board for the Black Voices in the Public Sphere Fellowship includes:

Danielle Allen, Director of Harvard University's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, lead investigator for Harvard's Democratic Knowledge Project, and former chair of the Pulitzer Prize board

Ann Marie Lipinski, curator of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and former editor-in-chief of the Chicago Tribune

Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Assistant Professor in the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University, regular contributor at the New Yorker, and author of the book Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership

Brandon Terry, Assistant Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University and editor of the book, Fifty Years Since MLK

Beyond exploring their own interests and bringing those ideas into public conversations with their individual projects, fellows will also receive training from Boston Review editors in every step of the publishing process-from acquisitions, structural and line editing, copyediting and fact checking, to web and print production and promotion on social and conventional media.
Details
The fellowship is a full-time position running from September 2021 through May 2022. Fellows will receive a $4,000 monthly stipend.

Applications are now being accepted via Submittable and are due April 30, 2021. A decision will be made in May.

Who is eligible to apply?

The Black Voices in the Public Sphere Fellowship recognizes aspiring media professionals who demonstratean interest in exploringthe publishing world and acommitment to enlargingthe landscape of ideasin the media.

A bachelor's degree is required to apply. Established professionals should not apply.

Previouseditorialexperience ishelpful but not required.Most importantis the clarity of a candidate'svision for a publishingproject and their careergoals.

Boston Review hopes to hold the fellowship program in person, but if COVID-19 restrictions persist, the fellowship will be held virtually. Fellows will be apprised of any changes.

2021 Field School in Historical Archaeology

Historic St. Mary's City (HSMC), in association with St. Mary's College of Maryland (SMCM), announces its 2021 Field School in Historical Archaeology. The 2021 field season will be focused on sites in the Mill Field. Located northeast of the Town Center at the heart of the colonial capital, the Mill Field takes its name from its proximity to the 17th-century mill that was critical to the town's survival. As St. Mary's City developed in the latter half of the 17th century, the Mill Field become home to a number of the city's residents. The road to the mill was one of the key elements of the city's unique Baroque plan. This portion of the city has only been nominally studied and is sure to yield significant information about the development of St. Mary's City.

Note: HSMC continues to monitor the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Participants in the 2021 Field School in Historical Archaeology will be expected to follow protocols to maintain social distancing and ensure the health of students and staff. These protocols will be shared prior to the start of the program and will be reviewed at the start of the field school. They are subject to revaluation and update as the situation evolves.

Program Dates

June 1 - August 6

About the Program

HSMC is a state-supported, outdoor museum located at the site of Maryland's first capital (1634-1694). The HSMC field school is the longest-running historical archaeology field school in the United States. Participants engage in an intensive, ten-week program that teaches the foundational principles of historical archaeology through hands-on excavation, laboratory work, and artifact analysis. Students learn artifact identification by working with one of the best archaeological collections of colonial and post-colonial material in the country. Throughout the program, students attend virtual lectures from leading Chesapeake scholars.

The Field School in Historical Archaeology is an ideal experience for undergraduate or graduate students concentrating in Anthropology, Archaeology, History, Museum Studies, or American Studies, or for any student with an interest in learning about the past through archaeology.

Requirements

No prior archaeological experience is required for acceptance into the field school. An introductory course in anthropology, archaeology, and/or colonial history will be helpful, but is not mandatory. Archaeological fieldwork is physically demanding and requires strong communication skills; the ability to engage in sustained, strenuous teamwork is essential.

Tuition & Fees

Although the HSMC Historical Archaeology Field School is accredited through St. Mary's College of Maryland (SMCM), a state honors college dedicated to the Liberal Arts, the field school program is open to students from any institution that accepts transferable credit. Undergraduate students may register for either Anthropology or History credits. Tuition for the eight-credit program is $1,600. An additional fee of $25 is assessed to cover the costs of materials and a commemorative T-shirt for each participating student.

Applications for the 2021-2022 class of Eisendrath Legislative Assistants are now open!

About the Eisendrath Legislative Assistant Fellowship

Being an Eisendrath Legislative Assistant (LA) at the RAC means getting involved and playing a pivotal role in our work: legislative advocacy, programs, communications, organizing, and supporting the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism (CSA). The salary for the 2021-2022 class is $36,000, and the program dates are August 24, 2021 - August 12, 2022.

We are particularly interested in investing in and engaging with applicants who come from underrepresented and marginalized backgrounds. This includes People of Color, people with disabilities, people coming from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and other marginalized identities.

For the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 classes, we are excited to announce that in partnership with the Jews of Color Initiative, which is dedicated to the professional and communal advancement of Jews of Color (JoC), we have committed to extend fellowships to two JoC Legislative Assistants. JoC LAs will receive an additional cost-of-living stipend up to $5,000 each, mentorship from leaders of Color, and culturally responsive professional development. Learn more about the Eisendrath Legislative Assistant Fellowship's focus on racial equity, diversity, and inclusion.

LAs are at the heart of every aspect of the Reform Movement's social justice work, and we are committed to making the Eisendrath Legislative Assistant Fellowship and RAC reflective of the diverse Movement we represent.

LAs' work includes:

Legislative Advocacy: The LAs have primary responsibility for monitoring legislation; representing the Reform Movement institutions on Capitol Hill and in coalitions; and ensuring that the voice of the Reform Movement's nearly 850 congregations, 2,000 rabbis, and 1.5 million Reform Jews are heard.

Each LA takes on a different policy portfolio (based in resolutions adopted by the CSA, the Union for Reform Judaism, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis), bringing a Reform Jewish perspective to the crucial social justice issues of the day. The LAs are the lead staff member on their policy issues, playing a key role developing strategy, drafting materials, and driving our work forward.

Leadership Development and Programs: Some 2,000 people participate in RAC-led conferences each year, which the LAs help plan, program and coordinate. Many LAs have found their opportunity to serve as the faculty for the L'Taken Social Justice S eminars - the six weekend-long social justice seminars for high school students that we run each year - to be a highlight of their time at the RAC.

Communications:  LAs help guide our website, action alerts, blog posts, social media, and other communications, helping disseminate our message and materials across the country to decision makers, the media, congregational leaders, and Reform Jews.

Organizing: LAs have an opportunity to work with the field team to enhance our legislative advocacy at the state and local level and support congregations to bring social justice closer to the center of their work. Building transformative relationships across lines of race, class and faith are core not only to policy achievements, but also to bringing about a world where all people experience wholeness, justice, and compassion.

The Commission on Social Action: The LAs prepare materials for the CSA's meetings, work with its members and task forces, and advocate on its behalf on Capitol Hill and in coalitions. Interactions with CSA members are another highlight of the experience for many LAs.

For more information, contact Legislative Manager Juri Jacoby at 202-387-2800.

Harvard University Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics Fellowship in Race, Genetics, & Ethics  

# data[].attributes.body
Deadline: Rolling

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Genetic association studies identify differences in DNA that are associated with differences in traits. Diagnosis of depression, BMI, and behavioral traits are just some examples of the traits that are being studied. Polygenic scores sum up the effects of these genetic differences (known as variants) to give an indication of how an individual's risk compares to that of others.

The Center is launching a project looking at some of the ethical and policy dimensions of genetic association studies and polygenic scores. The current focus is on an interdisciplinary conversation dedicated to clarifying how we do and should use the concepts of population and ancestry in connection with genetic association studies.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in race, genetics and ethics

Position summary:

The Edmond J Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University is seeking a key team member at the postdoctoral level for a new two-year project. This project will focus on how the concepts of population and ancestry are used across science and social science disciplines, and how they should be used. We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher with a background in social science methodologies and a keen interest in the intersection of questions of race and justice to join this project. The successful candidate will work alongside a core team with expertise in genetics, ethics and bioethics, with input from a working group encompassing a wide array of experts.

The successful candidate will devote all their working time to this project, which receives the bulk of its funding from the NIH. The project is motivated by developments in genetic association studies. It has defined aims, but the research agenda for pursuing those aims will be developed by the core team, including the successful candidate. The methodology will involve a mixture of analysis of text, interviews with experts in diverse disciplines, and normative analysis. In collaboration with the other postdoc on this project, the candidate will carry out research, co-lead the working group in a series of virtual meetings, plan larger-scale convenings to push the research agenda forward, and disseminate results of the project.

About the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics:

The Center seeks to strengthen teaching and research about pressing ethical issues; to foster sound norms of ethical reasoning and civic discussion; and to share the work of our community in the public interest. We are pursuing several topics at the intersection of health, justice, and democracy. The aim is to have practical impact. Our culture is highly collaborative, and we work hard to support each other. There is a lively series of events and discussions that all Center members are encouraged to attend.

Annual compensation is $60,000. Details about benefits to be provided in the context of an offer.

We are looking for someone to start as soon as possible. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis beginning September 21. The position will run through June 2022. The team will be working virtually at least through December 2020.

Minimum qualifications: PhD in a relevant field; individuals with many different backgrounds will be considered. An interest in the intersections of social sciences and normative work with natural sciences and medicine is highly desirable. Some experience of empirical social science methodologies strongly preferred.

Harvard is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

How to apply: Email CV and cover letter to ejsafrafellowships@fas.harvard.edu with the subject line: Postdoctoral Research Fellow Application.

Deadline: Varies

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Purpose

The Charlotte W. Newcombe Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships are designed to encourage original and significant study of ethical or religious values in all fields of the humanities and social sciences, and particularly to help Ph.D. candidates in these fields complete their dissertation work in a timely manner. In addition to topics in religious studies or in ethics (philosophical or religious), dissertations appropriate to the Newcombe Fellowship competition might explore the ethical implications of foreign policy, the values influencing political decisions, the moral codes of other cultures, and religious or ethical issues reflected in history or literature.

Since the first round of competition in 1981, more than 1,200 Newcombe Fellows have been named. Fellows from early years of the program are now senior faculty members at major research universities and selective liberal arts colleges, curators and directors at significant scholarly archives, and leaders and policymakers at nonprofit organizations and in cabinet-level government agencies. In the past decade, national honors such as the MacArthur Fellowship, Pulitzer Prize in History, the Guggenheim Fellowship, and election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences have been accorded to more than a dozen Newcombe Fellows-a number that will continue to grow as more and more Fellows enter the most productive phases of their careers.

The Fellowship

The Newcombe Fellowships are provided to Ph.D. candidates at American institutions located in the United States who will complete their dissertations during the academic year 2020-2021. In the current Newcombe competition, at least 20 non-renewable Fellowships of $25,000 will be awarded for 12 months of full-time dissertation writing; in addition, Fellows' graduate schools will be asked to waive tuition and/or remit some portion of their fees. Successful candidates will be notified, and the public announcement of new Fellows made, in spring 2020. For more information about the program, you can download the program brochure (PDF).

About the Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation
The Woodrow Wilson Foundation administers the Newcombe Fellowship competition at the request of and in consultation with the Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation, a private foundation created under the will of Philadelphia philanthropist Mrs. Newcombe, who died in 1979. In addition to the Newcombe Dissertation Fellowships, the Newcombe Foundation funds three college scholarship programs: for students with disabilities, for returning women students, and by establishing and augmenting Special Scholarship Endowment funds at selected colleges and universities, helping students complete degrees in higher education.

The Anna Julia Cooper Workshop in Black History (The Cooper Workshop) features scholars from various disciplines researching and writing on Black history in the United States and the world. Cooper was the first African American woman to earn a doctorate in History, taught and mentored scores of students in D.C., and made invaluable contribution s to Black intellectual life. The Cooper Workshop will feature scholars from various disciplines researching and writing on Black history in the United States and the world. We use "Black" to embrace the expansiveness of African America and attend to the long tradition of black internationalism. With the conviction that "all knowledge is incremental and collective," as David Levering Lewis once wrote, the Workshop aims to foster a supportive space for the engagement and production of innovative scholarship in African American history.

As a works-in-progress series, we discuss pre-circulated, unpublished papers. The Cooper Workshop draws an interdisciplinary community from the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area with expertise in a wide reach of the field. We host six sessions per academic year. Papers will be circulated seven days in advance of the workshop.

For the 2020-21 academic year, the workshop will meet via Zoom, Fridays 4:00-5:30 p.m. To join the listserv, email Jessica Wicks-Allen, coordinator, jwicks@terpmail.umd.edu, or Quincy Mills, convener, qtmills@umd.edu.

The Massachusetts Historical Society now offers more assistance than ever before to scholars who need to use its library and archival collections. The research projects that the MHS supports through its fellowship programs produce cutting-edge historical scholarship. In addition, the MHS facilitates the visits of scholars in residence at the MHS through the support of other funding agencies.

During their residence, MHS Research Fellows become part of a scholarly community that includes other current fellows, MHS staff, Boston-area scholars, and former fellows. They participate in "brown-bag" lunchtime programs, present their own research, attend seminars, and join MHS staff and other fellows for collegial lunches every Thursday at a neighborhood eatery.

The Four Fellowship Programs

Each year, in addition to more than two dozen short-term fellowships, the Society helps to provide about the same number of New England Regional Fellowship Consortium grants for projects that draw on the resources of 26 participating research and cultural institutions. Thanks to the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent agency of the U.S. government, there will be at least two long-term MHS-NEH fellowships.

The MHS awards over 20 short-term fellowships annually, each of which provides a stipend for four weeks of research at the Society. Several of these fellowships are for research in specific topics or collections. The stipend is $2,000. Awards are open to advanced graduate students as well as scholars who have completed their professional training.

Each year, the MHS and the Bostonian Athenaeum offer one Suzanne and Caleb Loring Fellowship on the Civil War, Its Origins, and Conequences, which carries a stipend of $4,000. The recipient will conduct research for at least four weeks at each institution.

This collaboration of 30 major cultural agencies, including the MHS, awards approximately two dozen fellowships annually, each of which carries a stipend of $5,000. Each recipient will conduct research for a total of at least eight weeks at three or more participating institutions.
IMPORTANT: Please see the NERFC website for news regarding access to the Boston Public Library Rare Books and Manuscripts Department.
The MHS awards at least two long-term MHS-NEH fellowships annually, for a minimum of four months and a maximum of 12 months. The NEH stipend is $5,000 per month in 2019-2020. The MHS provides a supplement to assist with professional and housing expenses. Applicants must have completed their professional training and be U.S. citizens or foreign nationals who have lived in the United States for at least three years immediately preceding the application deadline.

Since 1985, the MHS has awarded more than 875 fellowships. These research projects have resulted in more than 470 publications, including more than 160 books!

The MHS has been pleased to welcome researchers whose tenure has been underwritten by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), Fulbright Fellowship Program, and Germany's Deutscher Akademischer Austasch Dienst (DAAD).

The MHS continues to maintain professional relationships with, and extend benefits to, former fellows. Many alumni choose to support the mission of the Society by returning to the MHS to deliver programs or serve on committees.
