T.B.L. Webster Fellowship
Institute of Classical Studies In this section
The T. B. L. Webster Fellowship was inaugurated in 1999. Professor E. J. Jory (Western Australia) was appointed as the first Webster Fellow. The Fellowship is awarded to scholars from universities outside the UK whose research interests are in ancient theatre and performance and its reception OR in classical art and archaeology. The successful candidate is expected to spend a minimum of six weeks at the Institute. Applicants are invited to make a proposal for an event or training activity to be carried out at the ICS during their stay. Proposals for events or activities that engage with UK-based classical researchers and/or the national and international subject community are particularly welcome. Fellows receive an allowance of £5000 toward the cost of travel and accommodation.
A list of previous holders of the Webster Fellowship is available here.
Following a period of suspension during the COVID-19 pandemic, applications were once again invited for this Fellowship for the academic year 2023-24. Professor Mark Fleishman (University of Cape Town) has been appointed.
