Hertog Foundation:  2023 Fellowship Seminars for Students, Young Professionals

 

The Hertog Foundation invites applicants for its 2023 Humanities at Hertog program. The program offers four online seminars, each centered around an enduring literary work.

Gap-year students, current undergraduates, graduate students, and young professionals are all eligible to apply for these Winter Term Humanities seminars. 

Small classes will consist of 10-15 peers who love great texts, big ideas, and lively conversation. Together, led by a master teacher, students will plumb classic and contemporary literary works for the insights they offer into fundamental human questions.

Applicants may apply for their choice of seminar. All seminars meet via Zoom, and are scheduled in the afternoon, evenings, and weekends to allow students from across time zones to come together. Fellows will receive a stipend contingent upon participation in their course and completion of a brief response paper and evaluation. All course materials will be provided.

Humanities courses include:

  • Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice
  • Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground
  • Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence
  • Utopia and Dystopia (explored through three novels)
