C. Eric Lincoln Theology & Arts Fellowship

The C. Eric Lincoln Fellowship supports undergraduate and graduate students in creating sacred art that reflects on theological concepts and personal spiritual commitments. Fellows receive funding and the opportunity to exhibit their work in Duke Chapel.

This fellowship is named in honor of the late Dr. C. Eric Lincoln, who was a professor of religion and culture at Duke University from 1976 to 1993. His work is internationally recognized as an authority on the sociology of religion as it relates to race and ethnicity in the United States. His body of work models both the academic integrity and faith formation the Chapel’s student ministry also attempts to embody.
