Graduate Student Jonah Max Awarded Harvard Traveling Fellowship

The Department of Anthropology is pleased to share that PhD Candidate Jonah Max has been selected as a recipient of a Harvard Traveling Fellowship through the Committee on General Scholarships.

On his research and fellowship plans, Jonah shared:

My work investigates how clinicians and patients navigate notions of time in the context of Long Covid in the United States. Over the coming year, I will conduct fieldwork at Johns Hopkins’ ME/CFS and Related Disorders Program in Baltimore, Maryland, where I will serve as a visiting researcher. This research would not be possible without the guidance and support of the department’s faculty and the generosity of the Frederick Sheldon Traveling Fellowship, for which I am deeply grateful.

Administered with support from the Fellowships & Writing Center, the Kennedy, Knox, and Sheldon Traveling Fellowships provide funding for Harvard graduate students and select professional school students to pursue research or study outside Cambridge for an academic year. The competition is open to students in their G2 year or later, as well as graduating students in Harvard’s professional schools, and supports projects that benefit from extended residence away from campus.

Traveling Fellowships have long supported Harvard students undertaking immersive research experiences, often serving as a foundation for dissertation work and future scholarly contributions. We are delighted to see Jonah’s work recognized in this way and look forward to following his research in the year ahead.
