2013/14 Fellowships IAS Durham, UK
The IAS was launched by Durham in October 2006 as a research-led, University-based forum for world-class multi- and interdisciplinary debate. The Institute seeks to catalyse new thinking on major annual themes through critical dialogue between gifted individuals from diverse professional and academic backgrounds. The theme for 2013/14 is “Light”, interpreted in its broadest sense – scientifically, symbolically, legally, philosophically, literarily, politically, economically, and sociologically.
A number of specific sub-themes have already been identified, including:
1. Light, Observation and Knowledge
2. Light for Life
3. Light and Wellbeing
4. Light, the Senses, and the Aesthetic
5. Life, Cultures and Practice
Fellows will be able to engage in these themes or to propose others that are related to the theme of Light.
Duration: 3 months
Applications are now invited for up to 20, three-month fellowships (October-December 2013 and January-March 2014), which will be linked to the annual theme. Applicants may be scholars, writers, artists or thinkers/practitioners from any discipline and from anywhere in the world. IAS Fellowships include stipend, travel, accommodation, subsistence and costs associated with replacement teaching or loss of salary (where appropriate).
Deadline: 17th June 2012
