Red Natural History Fellowship

"In a time when critical and creative inquiry are under attack, the Natural History Museum [in Vashon, Wash.] is inviting applications for the 2026-2028 Red Natural History Fellowship, a two-year program dedicated to co-creating a 'natural history for a world in crisis.' As environmental emergencies intensify, scholars and scientists are working directly with communities to expose the impacts of industrial pollution on public health, protect sacred items or ancestral remains threatened by pipelines, and sound the alarm about the systemic causes of climate change—leveraging their expertise and institutional resources in the shared struggle for a world beyond extraction. The Red Natural History Fellowship supports this growing movement by connecting and catalyzing collaborations among emerging and established scholars, writers, organizers and practitioners advancing a non-capitalist and anti-colonial practice of natural history—one grounded in protecting the world we share in common for the generations to come."

R. James Travers Foreign Corresponding Fellowship

"The Fellowship was created to help finance a significant foreign reporting project by a Canadian journalist — staffer, freelancer or student — working in any medium. This international reporting bursary reflects the importance that Travers attached to his six years reporting from Africa and the Middle East. He believed Canadians deserve first-hand, in-depth coverage of important stories outside our borders. He argued passionately that it is crucial for Canadian reporters to bear witness — because in our interconnected world, foreign news is local news. The Fellowship provides an annual award of up to $25,000 to cover travel, research and reporting expenses and a stipend for a journalist."
