The Annex

A brief video tour of the Fellows Workshop space and Fellows' Annex in Minor Hall


 

At a fundamental level, the Woodson Fellowship provides a space, intellectual and physical, for emerging scholars to bring their research to fruition. While this work necessarily happens individually, the Fellows' Annex in Minor Hall provides a dedicated place where fellows can complete this work in community with one another. Over the years, it has become clear that the residential aspect of the program, the camaraderie, the water-cooler conversations, the fellowship, is just as important as the intellectual exchanges and formal mentoring built into the program. 

 

At the beginning of their two-year residencies, we assign fellows to individual carrels in the Annex, each of which is furnished with a workstation and ample room for library books. Post-doctoral fellows who have teaching responsibilities during their time at the Institute, take up residence in discrete offices connected to the larger fellows annex.
