Alpine Fellowship: NYU Programme
The Alpine Fellowship partners with New York University to give two graduate students per year the unique opportunity to attend the annual Alpine Fellowship symposium.
Who is this right for?
The ideal students “seek to explore the connections across and between humanistic fields of study, build bridges across fields of study in the humanities, and creatively synthesize the arts, literature, philosophy, and other humanistic fields of inquiry.”
The fellowship is open to any current graduate student at GSAS or Tisch. Selected students must still be matriculated at the time of the consortium. Strong candidates would include those whose work strives to build bridges across disparate fields of study in the humanities, while creatively synthesizing the arts, literature, philosophy, and other humanistic fields of inquiry.

Zac Easterling
Zac Easterling (they/them) is a Ph.D. candidate in New York University’s department of performance studies, specializing in black studies, critical philosophy, African American studies, gender studies, boxing technique, and US boxing history. In their dissertation, Stricken Together: Boxing & The Performance of Conflict/Violence they read the history of boxing, exemplified by a selection of fights and their historical circumstance, to elucidate the ontology of conflict and present it as a resource of violence mitigation. Commencing from the presupposition that boxing is the spectacular performance of conflict, they examine its appearance in and around the ring, especially regarding race. Invoking themes of animality, relationality, and segregation their work is best described as an ongoing black study of the pugilistic tradition and its pragmatic potential in human affairs. In addition to their academic work, Zac coaches with the organization and art collective Trans Boxing, and produces the podcast Blow for Blow Radio.
