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. Professors Terry Martin (History) and Stephanie Sandler (Slavic Languages and Literatures) will coordinate the 2013–2014 program.
We are interested in applications from scholars currently working on our chosen theme, or equally those working on unrelated themes, but who are interested in exploring our theme. (Note that scholars whose work does not address the selected theme are encouraged to apply for fellowships at the Davis Center, and their applications will receive full consideration.)
Theme
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 Fellows Program will examine a range of theoretical approaches and case studies, with an eye to gaining a greater understanding of where the work of constructing identity happens (in domestic, public, textual and virtual spaces) and what factors constrain, promote, and shape that work.
