Research Residency Grant

The Research Residency Grant was developed to expand upon topics central to WSW’s core mission, including but not limited to women, trans, non-binary, or genderfluid people in the arts & education and the history of feminist collectives, printmaking, papermaking, ceramics, a WSW alumnx, or independent publishing. The grant is designed for an individual to work onsite in the WSW Archives and Reading Room in collaboration with the WSW Archivist or staff member. This opportunity is intended to promote histories, research narratives, and critical dialogue interconnected with WSW’s history. 

The length of Residency is 1–2 weeks, with on-site housing provided alongside access to the WSW Library Reading Room and archival materials. The grant includes a stipend of $350/week, up to $250 for travel within the Continental US. The Research Residency Grant does have an expectation of deliverables that will be determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the project outline.
