Cornell Society for the Humanities Fellowships 2011 – 2012 – Call for Fellowship Applications
The Society for the Humanities is pleased to announce the 2011-2012 research focal theme: “Sound: Culture, Theory, Practice, Politics.”
Six to eight Fellows will be appointed.
The Society for the Humanities was established at Cornell University in 1966 to support research and encourage imaginative teaching in the humanities. It is intended to be at once a research institute, a stimulus to educational innovation, and a continuing society of scholars.
In addition to promoting research on central concepts, methods or problems in the humanities, the Society for the Humanities seeks to encourage serious and sustained discussion between teachers and learners at all levels of maturity.
The Society for the Humanities invites scholars to reflect this year upon the theme of “Sound: Culture, Theory, Practice, Politics” as a means of analysing the resonance of historical and contemporary representations, movements, ideas, and negations of sound.This interdisciplinary invitation is open to study of the broadest cross-cultural range of contexts and media that cross the boundaries of time and space, from East and West/South and North.
Fellows should be working on topics related to the year’s theme. Their approach to the humanities should be broad enough to appeal to students and scholars in several humanistic disciplines.
