CFP: Public Humanities Fellowship: Trust in the Age of Generative AI

On behalf of an alliance of organizations at Oregon State University, we invite curious people with expertise across disciplines, practices, and modalities within the humanities to apply for a 2025-2026 Public Humanities Fellowship focusing on Trust in the Age of Generative AI. 

Four fellows will be selected to participate in a one-year experience involving two elements: a series of facilitated interdisciplinary discussions with experts in relevant fields and the development of a public humanities project in partnership with Oregon Humanities. 

We welcome applications from writers, activists, scholars, storytellers, or community leaders who are working on issues related to data, ethics, and AI. As understandings of privacy, agency, and public information are disrupted, is it possible or desirable to restore human trust in the age of generative AI? How should we approach these new demands on our institutions, our values, and our trust? Fellows will receive a $4,000 stipend, support for travel expenses, and support coordinating and promoting a public humanities project. Applications are due April 25, 2025 via Submittable.
