The OutHistory Fellowships Application Deadline: July 15, 2008

The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies, in New York City, is pleased to
announce two fellowship awards for OutHistory.org, our LGBTQ history website
in development.

Winners will be awarded $2,500 in order to fund the research and development
of a historical exhibit for the website that will uploaded onto the site at
the end of fellowship period.

In the interest of building a deep and broad site that embraces multiple
elements of queer history, OutHistory encourages proposed exhibits on under
researched areas of LGBTQ histories.

Previous experience in historical research and/or LGBTQ studies is a must
and preference be given to independent scholars. Knowledge of internet
technologies is not required ­ CLAGS will provide all necessary technical
assistance and support.

At the end of the fellowship period, the winner will provide CLAGS with a
completed ³exhibit² that will be uploaded onto the OutHistory site.

The final online exhibit will be comprised of 20-25 cohesive historical
entries, available visual or multimedia components, a scholarly introduction
and a final bibliography. Exhibits may exceed these minimum components. We
especially encourage multimedia text, images, sound or other components.
CLAGS will, within reason, cover all licensing permissions for images and
sound.

The awardees will also have the opportunity to present their research in a
CLAGS Colloquium at the CUNY Graduate Center.

Award: Two awards each in the amount of $2,500
