Ahmanson-Getty Postdoctoral Fellowships
This theme-based resident fellowship program, established with the support of the Ahmanson Foundation of Los Angeles and the J. Paul Getty Trust, is designed to encourage the participation of junior scholars in the Center's yearlong core programs.
The
core program for year 2008-09:
The British Atlantic in an Age of Revolution and Reaction:
From Boston to Peterloo and Tea Party to Massacre
Directed by
Saree Makdisi, English, UCLA, and Michael Meranze, History, UCLA
The age of revolutionary upheaval and counter-revolutionary resurgence between the American Revolution and the triumph of British imperial reaction at the end of the Napoleonic period profoundly transformed the world of the British Atlantic. While our focus will be on the “revolution decade” of the 1790s, we seek scholars (studying both sides of the Atlantic) interested in situating that explosion of utopian and reactionary imagination within a political terrain dominated by the power of immensely creative (but retrenching) British and American elites. Scholars from literature, history, art history, philosophy, and material culture are all encouraged to apply.
_______________________________________________________________
Scholars who have received a Ph.D. in the last six years and are engaged in research pertaining to the announced theme are eligible to apply. Fellows are expected to make a substantive contribution to the Center's workshops and seminars. Awards are for one full academic year in residence at the Clark.
Stipend: $35,000 for the academic year.
Application form and instructions.
