In 2022-2023 successful FrameWorks Fellowship applicants will be asked to write critical articles that interpret the theme “Constellation.”
You may interpret the term “Constellation” as broadly as you like. Consider it a point of departure, and inspiration, rather than a limitation for ideas you want to write about. Treat it as a guiding metaphor, or a theoretical concept, or a research topic. There are so many possible associations.
Constellations are points of reference in a mess of stars; the promise of home on landmark-less oceans; familiar patterns in an unfathomable celestial sphere; personality types; predictors of significant events; culturally specific; culturally ubiquitous; animals; mythical figures; objects; configurations; assemblages; clusters; space.
Find a cultural artifact that speaks to the theme as you interpret it. Such artifacts may include, but are not limited to star charts, novels, poems, philosophical texts, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, video games, scriptures, horoscopes, performances, films, The Bull of Heaven, songs, art installations, city plans, paintings, sculptures, musical compositions, and so forth and so on.
If you’re willing to look, you’ll see constellations everywhere.

Experience has taught us that FrameWorks Fellows do better in the program when they work with faculty mentors with whom they have an established relationship. While you need not have a faculty mentor lined up to be eligible, preference will be given to applicants who do. While some applicants are encouraged to apply by faculty who volunteer their mentorship, typically prospective fellows take the initiative by approaching faculty with whom they have worked well in the past.
