Final Call for SAR Indigenous Writer in Residence Fellowship
The School for Advanced Research (SAR), with the generous support of Lannan Foundation, is seeking applicants for the Indigenous Writer in Residence fellowship. The purpose of this fellowship is to advance the work of an indigenous writer pursuing their creative project while enabling them to interact with local scholar, artist, and Native communities. The fellowship runs from mid-June to early August and is open to writers indigenous to the United States or Canada. The fellow is provided with a $6,000 stipend, on-campus housing, office space, supplies allowance, library support, and travel reimbursement to and from SAR.
The deadline to apply is Monday, January 29, 2018

SAR's 2017 Lannan Indigenous Writer in Residence, Gordon Lee Johnson, said of his residency at SAR:
At this moment, there are Natives toiling over words in cluttered kitchens, university libraries, and poorly lit bedrooms, chasing after residencies and fellowships and grants. We writers know the residencies and fellowships boost us toward constellations, toward becoming one of the Native luminaries like M. Scott Momaday, Louise Erdrich, Sherman Alexie, Joy Harjo, Natalie Diaz. Someone your Mama and your people can be proud of.
