We know we can’t replace the experience of gathering in Sewanee this July, but we’re happy to celebrate the fellows and scholars who have graciously accepted our offer to join us in 2021. In light of cancelling this summer, the Conference will be slightly larger next year, and we will still be accepting applications in 2021. Congratulations to the following fellows and scholars!
