Australian university fellowships for Humanities Research INQ7.net
October 06, 2006
The Humanities Research Centre was established by the Australian National University in 1972 to foster innovative research in the Humanities and provides funds to support both scholars of demonstrated achievement and promising younger scholars to work in the Centre.
Applications are particularly welcomed from scholars with interests in one or more of the HRC’s Research Platforms: Biography and Society, Creativity and Human Rights and Historical Re-enactment and Public Memory. Applications for fellowships to the Freilich Foundation to work in the area of bigotry and tolerance are also welcomed.
The Freilich Foundation exists for study and research into the causes, histories and effects of ethnic, cultural, religious and sexual bigotry and animosity, and the exploration of how such intolerance can be combated - and co-existence promoted - by educational and social programs. Formally established in July 1999, and part of the Humanities Research Centre of the Australian National University, the Freilich Foundation supports individual research and runs a range of lectures, conferences and seminars.
The Foundation also runs a range of activities to support schools, including a biennial summer school. In 2008 the Foundation will be involved with the Recovering Lives conference and the Limits of Being Human conference.
List of 2008 HRC Conferences and their descriptions are available at: http://www.anu.edu.au/hrc/conferences/conferences_2008/index.php
The HRC will fund a number of short-term Visiting Fellows (of up to 12 weeks) to take up residence at the HRC. The Freilich Foundation will fund a few scholars (up to 12 weeks).
Scholars usually concentrate on a particular Research Platform, although we also welcome non-thematic scholars.
