Kristeller-Popkin Travel Fellowships
These fellowships are in recognition of the scholarship and generous support that two of the founding members of the JHP Board of Directors have given to the journal: Paul Oskar Kristeller (one of the founding directors of JHP and renowned Renaissance scholar) and Richard Popkin (first editor of JHP and noted historian of skepticism). Two awards of up to $4000 (depending upon the project budget) are offered annually to young scholars in the history of philosophy to defray expenses while traveling to do research. Applicants must have the PhD but may not have received it more than six years prior to applying. Applicants who do not receive awards in one year's competition are invited to apply in successive years. Application documents should be combined into a single pdf document and sent by email to Professor Eric Watkins (ewatkins@ucsd.edu),to whom letters of support should be sent separately. Application forms may be downloaded here. Annual application deadline: December 1, 2024.
