About this position
The Mahindra Humanities Center at Harvard University offers a one-year postdoctoral fellowship connected with the Center’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation seminar on migration and the humanities.
The fellowship supports humanities and social sciences scholars whose projects examine practices and processes of violence associated with large-scale historical and political transformations. Research may address slow violence, including the gradual degradation of social and economic structures, violations of cultural forms and practices, and the erosion of ethical and political systems. The fellowship is intended for interdisciplinary work that explores how these processes affect the security, sustainability, and quality of life of communities.
Applicants may come from fields that engage substantially with migration and the humanities. The research environment is centered on the Mahindra Humanities Center and its Mellon Foundation seminar, providing a setting for scholarly exchange across the humanities and related social sciences.
