HARVEY RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP
The Department of History will accept proposals from undergraduate history majors for awards of up to $500 in research funds. Proposals should specify how the requested funds will directly enhance research including,
but not limited to, travel... expenses for archival research, research libraries, academic conferences, tuition for language, archaeological, or other skills programs, and materials or equipment for research.
APPLICATION PROCESS Applicants must submit a one-page research proposal, an itemized budget and justification for expenses, and one letter of
support from a faculty member of the Department of History.
SELECTION PROCESS A committee will review the applications and report successful recipients to the department chairperson for approval as soon
after the deadline as possible. The chairperson will announce the recipients of the awards, who will be named Harvey Research Fellows.
PARTIAL & REPEAT FUNDING The $500 total annual fellowship seeks to serve as many worthy applications as possible, so that most requests can only be
funded partially. Students who win scholarship awards in one cycle may apply in subsequent cycles, but strong preference will be given to new applicants.
FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES The next round of applications will be Winter 2010.
Harvey Research Fellows will be required to submit a written report to the Undergraduate Committee upon completion of their project. The report will be archived in departmental records. In addition, a copy of the written report will be given to the Donor.
LEAVE PROPOSALS IN KEVIN UHALDE'S MAILBOX.
The Harvey Research Fellowship is made possible through a generous donation by Professor Emeritus of History Richard Harvey.

Ohio University History Department
On July 15, 1099, at the conclusion to the military campaign known as "The First Crusade," an army of Frankish warriors successfully captured Jerusalem. Many of the soldiers involved, as well as observers back home in Europe, immediately tried to fit this event into the story of salvation history, thinking not that the... crusade might have started the Last Days but that the Apocalypse indeed had already occurred. This lecture will explore the connections between history and prophecy, the crusade and the end of time, and how these apocalyptic enthusiasms helped to reshape medieval and modern Europe.
Jay Rubenstein, Associate Professor of history at the University of Tennessee is the author of "Guibert of Nogent: Portrait of a Medieval Mind" (Routledge, 2002), as well as a series of articles on the First Crusade and intellectual history more broadly. He is currently completing research on a book, "The First Crusade and the End of Time" (to be published in 2010 by Basic Books), for which he has undertaken research in France, Italy, and England through the support of two ACLS fellowships and one NEH fellowship. In 2007 he was named a fellow of the MacArthur Foundation.
