Harvard University’s Davis Center for Russian & Eurasian Studies Fellows Program funds research on the subjectivities and identities of the people of Russia and 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 Fellows Program aims to develop understanding of the factors that shape and constrain the identity making process.
The program offers three types of fellowships. Postdoctoral fellowships provide a $38,000 stipend for junior scholars who have obtained their PhD between September 2008 and September 2013. Senior fellowships provide $26,000 (along with additional funds for certain situations) for senior scholars who have obtained their PhD before September 2008 and have already made significant contributions to the field. Regional fellowships provide $46,000 for advanced specialists that hold Russian, Eastern European, Central Asian or Caucasusian citizenship.
Applications are due January 8, 2013. For more information, see the link below:
