FELLOW IN THE HUMANITIES
Moira Fradinger, Associate Professor of
Comparative Literature, Yale UniversityThe American Academy in Berlin was founded in 1994 by Richard C.
Holbrooke, then U.S. ambassador to Germany. Independent, nonpartisan,
and privately funded, the American Academy is committed to sustaining
and enhancing the long-term intellectual, cultural, and political ties
between the United States and Germany.
The American Academy in Berlin awards semester-long residential
fellowships at its Hans Arnhold Center to U.S.-based scholars, writers,
policy experts, and artists. The Academy also hosts Distinguished
Visitors, thought-leaders from the U.S. in public policy, the social
sciences, arts, and humanities, for shorter visits. During their stays,
both fellows and visitors engage with the public and their counterparts
in Berlin and throughout Germany, forging personal and professional
connections that, foster long-term transatlantic relations.
The American Academy is funded through tax-deductible
donations, which we greatly appreciate. Contributions may be
made by check, bank transfer, or via PayPal.
