[Studentfolk] Due 2/14: the Iles Award for the Graduate Study of Myth

[Moriarty, Megan]

Welcome back! Remember that the Robert L. and Phyllis J. Iles Award for Graduate Study of Myth application is open and ready for submissions! Submissions are due at midnight on Friday, February 14th.

This award offers an award of up to $2500 to a graduate student in the Division of the Arts and Humanities in support of that student’s research on myth. The award shall be supplemented by $1000 from the Division of the Arts and Humanities and by up to $1000 from the student’s home department, for a possible total of up to $4500.


Studies of myth from any culture in any period of human history are eligible for consideration. For the purposes of this award, a “myth” is “a story that is sacred to and shared by a group of people who find important meaning in it, as conveyed through narrative, art or ritual.” Eligible projects include, but are not limited to: the relationship between myths and religious practices, the uses of myth in literary and artistic productions, and the reuse of one culture’s myths by other cultures. Possible approaches include, but are not limited to, the anthropological, the literary, the historical, and the folkloristic, as well as creative approaches that aim to re-present a myth as part of a new artistic product.


The application deadline is Friday, February 14 at 11:59 pm. For more information and the link to the application, go to our website <https://religion.osu.edu/awards/robert-l.-and-phyllis-j.-iles-award-graduate-study-myth>
