Call details:
The Humanities Cultural Programme Visiting Fellowship scheme is set up to support Oxford Researchers in hosting Visiting Fellows in Oxford. Building on existing schemes of Visiting International Fellows and Visiting Global South Professors, this new stream is specifically for Visiting Fellows who are artists, writers, arts practitioners, and performers.
Each Fellowship will be supported through TORCH to deliver three (or more) public events, and associated activities tailored to more specific audiences – these might include students, local theatre partners, or masterclasses, workshops etc.
Assessment Criteria
- Application clearly explains the context and rationale for the proposed Visiting Fellow;
- Provides a clear timeline for activity for the Visiting Fellow. Please provide a clear and concise summary of the public events, seminars, workshops etc. in which they will be involved, including details of suggested venues, speakers, audiences, etc.;
- Give an outline budget;
- Clearly explain what the envisioned legacy for the proposed Fellowship is; what new connections will be established, and what the fit is with any existing projects, networks or programmes;
- Show what other funds have been raised externally and/or internally.
Application Process
Applications are via the IRAMS system and the ‘Case for Support’ form.
HCP Visiting Fellowships are put forward by an Oxford Humanities academic, and are selected from the gathered field by the Humanities Cultural Partnership Steering Group.
In the case for support form, the Oxford Humanities academic should outline why they have selected the researcher and how their research and practice would contribute to the students and researchers of University of Oxford, as well as how the research and student community can learn from the Visiting Fellow, and develop longer term partnerships.
Each application should also consider the connections elsewhere in the University (including GLAM (Gardens Libraries and Museums), outside of the University, and be open to co-hosting with an external cultural partner where relevant.
The application should include the proposed Visiting Fellow’s CV, 'Case for Support' form, outlining plans during their Visiting Fellowship.

Length of Fellowship
Visiting Fellowships can hold the association for up to 1 calendar year, and must be in Oxford for a minimum of three events, and to help curate the associated activities.
Funding
