The Humanities Research Fellowship for the Study of the Arab World invites distinguished scholars to apply for its inaugural writing retreat from January 6-24, 2025. Taking place at NYU Abu Dhabi, this retreat aims to foster a scholarly community for up to 6 scholars from around the world and to advance research projects in all areas of the Humanities related to the study of the Arab world, its rich literature and history, its cultural and artistic heritage, and its manifold connections with other cultures. Scholars will have the opportunity to work on any type of academic writing, including a research article, book manuscript, chapter or essay. 

We welcome applications from international senior scholars with outstanding scholarly accomplishments and mid-career scholars with strong publication records and exceptional scholarly promise.
