CRASSH VISITING FELLOWSHIPS FOR SCHOLARS FROM THE GLOBAL SOUTH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE 

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 12:00 (midday) UCT on 24 February 2025

LOCATION: England

The Centre for Research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge is inviting applications for funded Visiting Fellowships for scholars from the Global South. The purpose of these Fellowships is to provide opportunities for scholars working at higher education institutions in the Global South to exchange ideas with other researchers based at CRASSH and elsewhere in the University of Cambridge and to draw benefit from access to the University’s collections and resources. It is hoped that these visits will lead on to future collaborations and exchanges.

ELIGIBILITY:

For 2026, CRASSH will partner with the Department of History and Philosophy of Science. Applications are invited from scholars whose research is connected to the theme of science, politics and justice. This invites projects that study the ethics, politics and history of scientific, medical and technical knowledge-making and the multiple ways in which science has been leveraged by various groups in pursuit of justice. 

Up to three Visiting Fellows will be selected each year from different countries in the Global South whose research proposals respond to the call set out above. Check the further information tab on this page for more details on eligibility.

They invite applications from any discipline, including anthropology, archaeology, art history, digital humanities, ecology and environmental studies, history, philosophy, medical humanities, museum studies, science and technology studies, and sociology. Projects should aim to advance current understandings of science, politics, and justice through concrete case studies of science in action.

BENEFIT:

Return (economy fare) travel, single ensuite accommodation in Wolfson College, a subsistence allowance to help with additional everyday costs, desk space and access to a computer at CRASSH, full access to the University’s libraries and other collections, and to events and seminars run by CRASSH or other institutions in the University. The three-month in-person Fellowship will be followed by a nine-month digital Fellowship, allowing continued access to the University’s online events and resources.
