About this role
2027 Shaftesbury Fellowship
The Shaftesbury Fellowship provides an opportunity for prospective graduate students to develop their understanding and deepen their specialized expertise in a variety of academic fields including theology, philosophy, politics, law, economics, and history.
The Shaftesbury Fellowship is a highly selective summer-long fellowship for upper level undergraduate students and recent graduates who intend to pursue graduate study in any field related to the advance of liberty. During the Fellowship, Fellows will:
- Work one-on-one with an established scholar who will provide mentorship in the design and execution of a research project that will culminate in a publishable-quality paper that will be suitable for use as a writing sample for graduate admissions applications.
- Attend weekly reading seminars led by leading academics; and participate in two intensive colloquia focused on key themes in political theory, history, and philosophy.
- Explore informal opportunities to explore museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. They’ll get to know the CRCD staff and research fellows and live in close community with their peers
Shaftesbury Fellowships require a 10-week commitment mid-may through July.
To complete the Shaftesbury Fellow application, you will need the following documents in PDF format:
