The Franke Visiting Fellows Program is intended to ensure ongoing interdisciplinary exchange and creative debate at the Whitney in particular and at Yale in general. The Fellows serve as catalysts for intellectual gatherings at the Whitney Humanities Center, setting their own agendas and presenting their work to the community. Franke Visiting Fellows are an integral part of the WHC fellowship, participating in weekly luncheon talks and congenial conversation with other fellows, and are asked to deliver one public talk or presentation.
The Franke Visiting Fellows Program is made possible by the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Franke.
