Kierkegaard House Foundation Fellowship<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Encouraging the sharing of academic thought in relation to Kierkegaard\u2019s writings, the Kierkegaard House Foundation, a private entity, o\ufb00ers support for both pre- and post-doctorate scholars who wish to work in the Hong Kierkegaard Library for extended stays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kierkegaard House Foundation considers applications once a year. The deadline for applications is November 1 of the year before the beginning of the Fellowship term, which is normally September 1. We expect that we can announce awards no later than December 15th.  Scholars from the United States and from around the world are invited to apply.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellows sponsored by the Foundation receive a stipend of $1,500 per month and guest housing at the Kierkegaard House typically from the beginning of September through the end of August. Shorter stays will be considered. As the board seeks to support a balance between emerging and established scholars, both pre-doctoral and postdoctoral candidates are invited to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the usual scholarly qualifications, the Foundation looks for applicants who will bring Kierkegaard into conversation with St Olaf undergraduate students and with the wider college community. At the conclusion of the fellowship, the Foundation will receive a written report from the Fellow that summarizes their work completed at the Hong Kierkegaard Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Prior to this period (1998 – 2003), The Kierkegaard House Foundation provided what was referred to by Howard Hong as \u201cresidencies for visiting scholars.” This involved providing rooms at the Heath Creek apartments or at the Hong’s home as needed for scholars using the Kierkegaard Library.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
