Anschutz Distinguished Fellows

Anschutz Distinguished Fellows are appointed annually by the Princeton

University Program in American Studies.

Endowed in 1997 through the generosity of Philip and Nancy Anschutz and their
daughters Sarah Anschutz Hunt ’93 and Elizabeth Anschutz ’96, the Anschutz
fellowship program is designed to bring to Princeton for one semester a leading
scholar or practitioner in American arts, letters, politics, or commerce. The chief
goal is to widen the American studies community's intellectual horizons, and
offer an accomplished figure an opportunity to take part in Princeton’s singular
scholarly, teaching, and social life.

Applications are encouraged from those with non-academic as well as academic

credentials. Junior scholars are also eligible to apply, but will be appointed only if
their applications show promise of making an exceptional contribution.

Each fellow teaches one multidisciplinary seminar course for upper-division

undergraduates. Generally, admission to the course is by application, with
preference given to students enrolled in a certificate program offered by the
Program in American Studies. Each semester consists of twelve teaching weeks,
plus a one week break at mid-semester and a three-week reading and exam
period. In addition to giving the course, each visitor delivers one public lecture

to an audience drawn generally from faculty, graduate students, and interested

members of the larger Princeton community.

Fellows are expected to reside on or near campus, unless they can arrange
residency within comfortable commuting distance of Princeton. Fellows have
access to all University scholarly facilities, including libraries and computers.
There will be a fee for the use of University athletic facilities, if desired.
