This fellowship was founded by Heather Cole in 2019, during her tenure as Head of Special Collections Instruction and Curator of Literary and Popular Culture Collections at Brown University&#8217;s John Hay Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over eight weeks each summer, a cohort of students build research skills using primary sources to develop an original project. Projects can take the form of a traditional research paper, or may be creative or digital in format, but all projects must make primary and substantive use of the rare books, manuscripts, artwork, and\/or other objects at the Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Projects do not have to be completed by the end of the summer; the fellowship can serve as a start for a senior thesis or can be a further exploration of work begun during a course. Fellows work primarily in the Special Collections Reading Room, with workshops related to book history and other topics that fit the fellows\u2019 interests, along with possible field trips. Fellows are requested to be in residence in Providence for the duration of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to their projects, fellows are asked to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep a research journal documenting their progress. The journal is meant to be a personal, organizational tool and is not submitted at the end of the fellowship.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit a final reflection paper on their experience, due on the last day of the program<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Present their research at the fellowship program showcase in early fall&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each fellow will receive a stipend of $5,000 to cover housing and other expenses. Project-related expenses can also be supported by the Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2026 Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 program will run from June 8 \u2013 July 31, 2026. Fellows are expected to be on campus for the majority of the program, and to spend approximately 20 hours per week on fellowship-related work. <a href=\"#fellows\">View list of fellows here<\/a> (at the bottom of the page).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 cohort will be comprised of six fellows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Daniel G.

In a way, all my research centres on just one book, but in another, each newly encountered copy becomes a new book on its own terms; this tension between standardisation and particularity constitutes the heart of my argument.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Coral-Gimbernard.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11189\" style=\"width:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Coral-Gimbernard.jpg 500w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Coral-Gimbernard-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Coral-Gimbernard-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Coral Gimbernard \u201828<\/strong><br>Embodying Ourselves : Exploring Feminist Responses to the Reproductive Medical Gaze in Late 20th Century Rhode Island<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project delved into various Pembroke Feminist Activism in Rhode Island Collections, such as the Mary Ann Sorrentino Papers and the Rhode Island Women&#8217;s Health Collective Files, to seek out attempts at reproductive activism through health education in late 20th century Rhode Island.

Hedges, an American feminist and scholar, paid particular attention to the labor of responsibility forced onto women and children who produced quilts. The fact that quilts themselves are widely considered nostalgic or joyfully pre-industrial revolution, can work to mis-remember how the makers actually lived. In this project, the quilt is abstracted to its basic elements (worn fabric, needle, thread, shapes and geometry) through the practice of paper quilts created with handmade paper from my own textile waste.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Eiffel-Sunga.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11187\" style=\"width:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Eiffel-Sunga.jpg 500w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Eiffel-Sunga-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Eiffel-Sunga-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Sunga, Eiffel \u201827<\/strong><br>Fight for YOUR country: A Case Study on Filipino Foreign Nationals in the U.S. Navy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My research seeks to explain the increased interest and enlistment of Filipino foreign nationals in the U.S. Navy following World War II.

Spanning printed and distributed pamphlets in 18th century England, restrictive laws for Russian Jews, novels and plays, antisemitic propaganda, and Rabbinic exegesis, the legend of the wandering Jew has permeated many facets of Jewish cultural identity. By examining the relationships between persisting themes in these sources, this paper reflects on how the legend of the wandering Jew engages with modern conceptions of Jewish identity with regard to senses of belonging and otherness.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Marcus-Waller-300x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"Marcus Waller\" class=\"wp-image-10590\" style=\"width:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Marcus-Waller-300x300-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Marcus-Waller-300x300-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Mariana Waller &#8217;26<\/strong><br>&#8220;Ladies, Women, and Penises: Exploring the Black Lavender Experience&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the close reading of two plays from the Black Lavender Experience collection, Mariana notes Black Queer playwright&#8217;s unique discussions of gender (identity, norms, and expression) and body politics.

To situate the narratives and choices within the timeline, further research will include the societal expectations and customs of the late 1800s surrounding the Providence area. Additional research regarding the Civil War, the abolitionist movement, and the battles surrounding the Providence, Cincinnati, and New York City areas will also be necessary as the Chases were a highly politicized family involved in the civil discourse of their time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a narrative is established, Madeline intends to write a history play based on the information that she has found within the Hay. The play will ask how relatable such histories can be to a modern audience, how best to normalize actions that were taken within a very different societal context, and to what degree adaptations grant individuals relevance. The researched materials will dictate to a large degree the setting, plot, and characters seen within the script. The play will be staged in Fall 2020.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2019 Fellows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>click here to view 2019 Fellows<\/summary>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/finch_collins_400-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"John Hay Library Fellow Finch Collins\" class=\"wp-image-8294\" style=\"width:150px;height:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/finch_collins_400-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/finch_collins_400-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/finch_collins_400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Finch Collins \u201921<\/strong><br>&#8220;(Trans)formative Fandom: Trans Studies, Problematic Authors, and Reclamation&#8221;<br>Working with the Caitlin Kiernan papers and the gay pulp fiction collection, Finch will investigate negotiations of queer identity through fandom, and will examine the extent that fandom can serve as a site of reclamation and identity creation, and how utopian thinking on fandom\u2019s reclamatory value might fall short; he hopes to produce a 40-50 page paper as a first step toward an honors thesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/evan_kindler_400-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"John Hay Library Fellow Evan Kindler\" class=\"wp-image-8295\" style=\"width:150px;height:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/evan_kindler_400-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/evan_kindler_400-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/evan_kindler_400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Evan Kindler \u201920<\/strong><br>&#8220;The John Birch Society in the Trump Era&#8221;<br>Evan hopes to examine Trumpism\u2019s roots in Bircherism, examining how this far-right extremist group\u2019s agenda has been reflected in Trump\u2019s policies and rhetoric, and will produce a paper and possibly a creative work.
