Fellowships at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian
Studies, Harvard University, “Subjectivities and Identities in Eurasia”
Deadline: January 8, 2013
The Davis Center is pleased to announce the theme
for its 2013-2014 Fellows Program. The Fellows Program brings together scholars
at early and later stages in their careers to consider a common theme spanning
the social sciences and humanities. The program is coordinated by faculty from
across Harvard University whose research interests include aspects of the selected
theme.
In 2013-2014, the Fellows Program will be coordinated by
Professors Terry Martin (History) and Stephanie Sandler (Slavic Languages and
Literatures).
The theme for 2013-2014 is “Subjectivities and Identities
in Eurasia.” Imagining a personal, ethnic, religious, sexual, or national
identity may be no simple matter in any culture, but for the people of Russia
and Eurasia this always has been a fraught process. The very question of
subjectivity has been self-consciously scrutinized and as readily rejected as
embraced.
The Davis Center invites scholars whose work considers
subjectivities and identities, their formation and structure, their emphases on
uniqueness and on replication. In addition to pursuing their own
research, Fellows will participate in a regular interdisciplinary seminar
series with sponsoring faculty and advanced graduate students. Papers will be
presented by the Fellows, Harvard faculty, and invited outside speakers. For
more detailed information on the Fellows Program, and opportunities to apply
for regional, postdoctoral, and senior fellowships, please visit the Davis
Center web site, http://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu.

Politics in the Remaking of Northeast Asia:
From Cold War to Post-Cold War,”
Australian National University
Applications are invited from suitably qualified scholars
for a Postdoctoral Fellowship / Research Fellowship (Level A/B) to work with
Professor Tessa Morris-Suzuki’s ARC Laureate Fellowship “Informal Life Politics
in the Remaking of Northeast Asia: From Cold War to Post-Cold War”.
This is a two year fixed-term position. The applicant
should have a PhD in a relevant discipline and a record of academic
publications on North Korea.
S/he will pursue both independent and team-based research
consistent with the project, which focuses on “informal life politics”: local
level grassroots movements in which individuals or groups act to protect their
health or livelihood from threats seen as emanating from economic and
environmental change, state action or the failures of state policy.
The appointee will identify and research relevant case
studies from North Korea, and collaborate with other project members in
cross-border analysis of informal life politics in the Northeast Asian region
as a whole. S/he will work under the supervision of the Laureate Fellow, and
also assist in project management, in supporting the work of other members of
the research team and in supervising and mentoring postgraduate students.
With other project team members s/he will communicate
ideas and findings generated by the project to a wider audience though high
quality publications and through project conferences and workshops.
Mitchem Dissertation Fellowship Program, Marquette
University

research and travel monies for the 2013-14 academic year.
Essential Functions: Fellows are to be in residence at
Marquette University for the academic year, August 19, 2013 to May 18, 2014,
during which they teach one (1) course in their area of specialization,
interact with faculty and undergraduate students, give a public presentation,
and devote their primary energies to the completion of their dissertations.
During their residence, Mitchem Fellows will participate in a formal mentoring
program, each fellow collaborating with a senior faculty mentor who is

Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships in the
Humanities, University of Toronto
The Jackman Humanities Institute at the University of
Toronto seeks 3 Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellows for a two-year
appointment 2013-2015 with research relevant to the 2013-14 theme:
Translation and the Multiplicity of Languages.
What are the implications of knowing more than one
language? From mythic reflections on the Tower of Babel through contemporary
philosophical reflections on the question of translation, the multiplicity of
languages has been an ongoing focus of inquiry. How is translation possible,
both in the specific sense of translating speech or texts, but also in the
larger sense of bringing meaning from one system to another, including from
speech to writing?
How do we conceive of languages of music, as well as
song; icons and symbols as well as scripts? How best can we interpret the
exchanges between languages in a world of multilingual interactions?
In the ancient Near East, for example, a number of
written bilingual texts sometimes reflect a local language and lingua franca,
other times reflect a political orientation and appeasement or defiance.
Translation between cultures and languages produce
unintended results, often creating new originals. Amidst these multiple
languages, what is the impact of the untranslatable?
Fellowships begin 1 July 2013.
Eligibility: Ph.D. awarded between 1 July 2010 and
30 May 2013.
1 December 2012
Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Humanities and
Humanistic Sciences, University of Wisconsin- Madison
The University of Wisconsin-Madison invites applications
for its postdoctoral fellowship program in the humanities and humanistic social
sciences.
Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, it will
provide 3 two-year postdoctoral fellowships for recent PhD recipients starting
on August 26, 2013.
Fellows will be affiliated with a department in the
College of Letters and Science, as well as the Institute for Research in the
Humanities and the Center for the Humanities. They will teach one undergraduate
course per semester in one of the humanities or humanistic social science
departments in the College of Letters & Science.
The theme for 2013-2015 applicants is
DEMOCRACY. We invite scholars to reflect upon democracy
as a focus of historical, philosophical, literary, cultural, or aesthetic
analysis. We seek projects that consider democracy from within the humanities
and that understand democracy as concept, practice, or mode with bearing on
politics, law, and society, as well as literature, language, and the arts.
Democracy—whether conceived as the legitimation of power or its exercise, as “the
reign of the limitless desire of individuals in modern mass society” or the
opening of politics and society to a plurality of voices—is at once contested
and coveted. Democracy is implicated in nationalism and cosmopolitanism, war
and peace, justice and reconciliation, and freedom and enslavement, that is,
who is included in or left out of the social contract and civic life.
