The Emily Dickinson Museum seeks a Research Fellow for a 9-month, 30 hour week term appointment to conduct original primary-source research to provide evidence for the Museum to document and interpret the domestic conditions that afforded Emily Dickinson the opportunity to compose a large body of poetic and epistolary work. This research project parallels the restoration of the Dickinson Homestead domestic service wing, which will offer the Museum new opportunities to share the stories of all those who lived and worked at the Homestead and Evergreens in the 19th century.<\/p>\n
The Research Fellow in Domestic Labor History will conduct original primary-source research to provide evidence for the Museum to document and interpret the domestic conditions that afforded Emily Dickinson the opportunity to compose a large body of poetic and epistolary work. Working with archival, manuscript, and material culture collections, the Fellow will examine records including correspondence, financial documents, census data, maps, employment records, newspapers, church records, artifacts, landscapes, the built environment, and other contemporaneous sources to identify and reconstruct the lives and labor of individual domestic workers associated with Dickinson family households and comparable homes in the region.
