The Dianne Woest Fellowship in the Arts and Humanities
supports scholarly research on the history and culture of Louisiana and
the Gulf South. While THNOC resources should play a central role in the
proposed research agenda, fellows are also encouraged to explore other
research facilities in the Greater New Orleans area.
The Woest Fellowship is open to doctoral candidates, academic and
museum professionals, and independent scholars. U.S. citizenship is not
required, but applicants should be fluent in English. Fellows will be
expected to acknowledge THNOC in any
published work drawing on
fellowship research. Applicants are considered without regard to race,
color, religion, national origin, gender, age, disability, or any other
protected status.
Stipend: The fellowship includes a stipend of
$4,000. Fellows may select their period(s) of residence, but all
research must commence and conclude during the specified fellowship term
(April 1, 2021–March 31, 2022).
Deadline: Applications for the 2021–22 Woest Fellowship will be due on November 15, 2020.
To Apply: Applicants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with THNOC’s resources by visiting the Research page and browsing our holdings via our online public access catalog. Fellowship applications may be downloaded from the website. For more information, consult our FAQ, or contact Jason Wiese at (504) 598-7183.
The Historic New Orleans Collection gratefully acknowledges the
generosity of Dianne Audrey Woest (1935–2003), a graduate of
Southeastern Louisiana University, former president of the New Orleans
Council for International Visitors, and true friend of the arts. Through
a planned giving arrangement, Woest designated The Collection as a
beneficiary of her estate.
