News from the John W. Kluge Center: Karen Armstrong on the Lost Art of Scripture

Please join us for a National Book Festival Presents event with Karen Armstrong

The event will take place on Wednesday, November 6, in the Coolidge Auditorium of the Library’s Thomas Jefferson Building. Free tickets are available here.

At a time of intolerance and mutual incomprehension, renowned scholar and TED Prize-winner Karen Armstrong's latest book The Lost Art of Scripture shines fresh light on the world's major religions to help us build bridges between faiths and rediscover a creative and spiritual engagement with holy texts.

Karen Armstrong is the author of numerous books on religious affairs, including The Case for God, A History of God, The Battle for God, Holy War, Islam, Buddha, and The Great Transformation, as well as a memoir, The Spiral Staircase. Her work has been translated into forty-five languages. In 2008, she was awarded the TED Prize and began working with TED on the Charter for Compassion, created online by the general public, and crafted by leading thinkers in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. The charter was launched globally in the fall of 2009. She is currently an ambassador for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations.

The event is free and open to the public; however, tickets are required for entry. Seating is limited and available on a first come, first served basis. A ticket does not guarantee entry into the event.

Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of house management. We recommend arriving when doors open.

Tickets are recommended, but not required, and are free.

News from the John W. Kluge Center: Applications Open April 15 for Kluge Fellowships

Applications open next Wednesday, April 15 for Kluge Fellowships at the John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress.

Twelve Kluge Fellowships are awarded each year through a competitive selection process. Kluge Fellowships are offered for a period of four to eleven months.

Since the inception of the Kluge Center, dozens of Kluge Fellows have gone on to distinguished academic careers; many have made lasting contributions as public intellectuals. Interdisciplinary and cross-cultural research is particularly welcome in the Kluge Fellowship program. The fellowship is open to scholars in the humanities and social sciences with special consideration given to those whose projects demonstrate relevance to contemporary challenges.

You will be able to apply here. And in the meantime check the fellowship requirements and eligibility information here.

The application deadline is currently set for July 15, but we will be revisiting this deadline as the COVID-19 situation develops. Please email scholarly@loc.gov if you are currently applying or interested in applying for this fellowship and are having trouble meeting the deadline. Kluge staff will be in touch with you.
