Fellowship Program
VFH Fellows are humanities scholars whose research engages the public in intellectual and artistic discovery. During one- or two-semester residencies, Fellows have visiting faculty privileges at the University of Virginia.

Violence & Community
The Center on Violence and Community studies the long-term effects of violent systems – social arrangements rooted in violence that lead to or emerge from war. The Center is a place in which those most intimately acquainted with violence – its survivors – can research, write about, and comprehend the phenomenon.

Southern Virginia Development Program
VFH is a partner in "American Origins: Hidden Histories in Our Midst." This federally funded, three-year initiative provides professional development for history teachers in southern Virginia's public schools. Participants learn how to enhance their teaching of the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the Civil Rights Movement.

Summer Institutes
VFH hosts summer institutes for high school teachers and faculty members from colleges and universities across the country. Taught by University of Virginia faculty and visiting scholars, these institutes seek to deepen the participants’ understanding of a particular topic and thereby improve their teaching.
