The Academy Scholars Program identifies and supports outstanding scholars at the start of their careers whose work combines disciplinary excellence in the social sciences (including history and law) with a command of the language, history, or culture of non-Western countries or regions. Their scholarship may elucidate domestic, comparative, or transnational issues, past or present.
For complete information on how to apply visit: www.wcfia.harvard.edu/academy.
Applications are due by October 1, 2013.
Fung Global Fellows Program
The Fung Global Fellows Program at the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies is currently accepting applications. During the academic year 2014-15, the theme for the Fung Global Fellows Program will be “Global Diffusion”. The program seeks applications from scholars developing new, innovative ways to study global diffusion processes. The objects of diffusion could be specific modes of social categorization (such as “race” in census forms), principles of legitimation (such as democracy), government policies (such as minority quota systems), forms of conflict (such as revolutions), or cultural practices (such as Tango dancing or marrying “in white”). We especially encourage analytically oriented approaches that identify recurring patterns and mechanisms through rigorous comparison of multiple cases or quantitative analysis, with broad geographic (preferably transcontinental) coverage. Researchers working on all historical periods of the modern age, all regions of the world and of all disciplinary backgrounds in the social sciences and humanities are encouraged to apply.
The director for the 2014-15 program year is Andreas Wimmer, Hughes-Rogers Professor of Sociology.
For eligibility criteria and details see the application section of this website. Application deadline: November 1, 2013.
