Deadline: October 1, 2007
The Society for the Humanities at Cornell University
(http://www.arts. cornell.edu/ sochum/index. html), which supports research and
encourages imaginative teaching in the humanities, is accepting applications from scholars and artists for its fellowship program.
The focal theme for the 2008-2009 program is "Water, A Critical Concept for the Humanities". The program calls for scholarly reflection on critical concepts of water from a broad range of disciplinary and inter-disciplinary perspectives. The society welcomes applications from scholars and artists who theorize, research, and perform water as a critical concept for the humanities.
Fellows should be working on topics related to the year's theme. Their approach to the humanities should be broad enough to appeal to students and scholars in several humanistic disciplines.
Applicants must have received the Ph.D. degree before January 1, 2008, and must also have one or more years of teaching experience which may include teaching as a graduate student.Fellows include scholars from other universities and members of the Cornell faculty released from regular duties.
The fellowships are held for one academic year. Each fellow will receive $45,000. Applicants living outside North America are eligible for an additional $2,000 to assist with travel costs. Six to eight fellows will be appointed.
