CRASSH: Fellowships for Scholars from the Global South 2026 (UK)

FellowshipsScience, Politics and Justice Visiting Fellowships for Scholars from the Global South: Science, Politics and Justice, CRASSH, University of Cambridge, UK. Deadline: 24 February 2025.

The Centre for Research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge is inviting applications for funded Visiting Fellowships for scholars from the Global South. The purpose of these Fellowships is to provide opportunities for scholars working at higher education institutions in the Global South to exchange ideas with other researchers based at CRASSH and elsewhere in the University of Cambridge and to draw benefit from access to the University’s collections and resources. It is hoped that these visits will lead on to future collaborations and exchanges.

For 2026, CRASSH will partner with the Department of History and Philosophy of Science. Applications are invited from scholars whose research is connected to the theme of science, politics and justice. This invites projects that study the ethics, politics and history of scientific, medical and technical knowledge-making and the multiple ways in which science has been leveraged by various groups in pursuit of justice. This may include proposals that focus on the participation of scientific and medical experts and activists in projects of anticolonialism, antiracism, climate and environmental justice, disarmament, gender equity, indigenous rights, reproductive rights, the repatriation of heritage and ancestors, or scientific and medical literacy. The call also welcomes projects that examine moral, ethical, and historical questions of science and engineering as contributors to crime prevention, policing, prosecution, and war. Equally, it includes projects that investigate the moral responsibility of scientific experts, as well as objectivity, neutrality, and value judgements in socially engaged science.

They invite applications from any discipline, including anthropology, archaeology, art history, digital humanities, ecology and environmental studies, history, philosophy, medical humanities, museum studies, science and technology studies, and sociology. Projects should aim to advance current understandings of science, politics, and justice through concrete case studies of science in action.

All Fellows selected under this scheme will be asked to work together to design an event related to the theme of this call, to take place during the term they are resident in Cambridge, and to present their own research at this event. This event will be co-hosted by CRASSH and the Department of History and Philosophy of Science. Fellows will also be invited to give a separate presentation on their research, if they wish, at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science.

European U Institute: Fellowship in Political & Social Sciences (Italy)

Fellowships

Research Fellow in Political & Social Sciences: Ethnic Discrimination in the Job Search Process, European University Institute, Florence, Italy. Deadline: 26 June 2024.

For an ERC-funded project (‘TARGETS’), EUI conducts longitudinal research on the impact of ethnic discrimination on the job search process. Ethnic discrimination in the labour market is persistent and pervasive. The job search experiences of ethnic minorities, in particular, are rife with rejections and second tries. On average, they have to apply more often as the majority group to receive an equal number of positive callbacks and face substantial discrimination at the interview and job offer stages. Previous research, however, has paid little attention to the job search behaviour of members of vulnerable groups, and the strategies they may adopt to avoid discriminatory employers. For example, job seekers may conceal ethnic cues in their resumes or target organizations that signal a commitment to diversity in their recruitment material. In this project, researchers rely on experience sampling methods (digital daily diaries) to analyze job search behaviour as it unfolds over time. They will track the type of organizations that job seekers apply to, how they react to the information reported in the vacancies and the feedback received from employers and whether they adapt their job search strategies in response to perceived discrimination or expectations of success and failure. Drawing on sociological and socio-psychological research on stigmatization, social identity and discrimination, they will examine the coping strategies of vulnerable groups as they try to find employment (preferably, the
research will focus on the Dutch context).

CRASSH: Fellowships for Scholars from the Global South 2024-5 (UK)

FellowshipsVisiting Fellowships for Scholars from the Global South: Religious Boundaries, CRASSH, University of Cambridge, UK. Deadline: 25 February 2024.

The Centre for Research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge is inviting applications for funded Visiting Fellowships for scholars from the Global South. The purpose of these Fellowships is to provide opportunities for scholars working at higher education institutions in the Global South to exchange ideas with other researchers based at CRASSH and elsewhere in the University of Cambridge and to draw benefit from access to the University’s collections and resources. It is hoped that these visits will lead on to future collaborations and exchanges.

For 2025, CRASSH will partner with the Faculty of Divinity and the Cambridge Interfaith Programme. Applications are invited from scholars whose research is connected to the theme of inter-religious relations, with a particular focus on religious boundary-making. This invites projects that study how two or more religious groups form one another in their mutual encounter, when and how they demarcate difference, and how boundaries between them remain mutable through various activities of exchange such as dialogue or missionary endeavours. The call also welcomes projects that are interested in how religious boundary-constructions relate to other articulations of identity, such as ethnicity, class, politics, or gender.

They invite applications from any discipline, including anthropology, history, philosophy, political science, sociology and theology. Projects should aim to advance current understandings of interfaith conflict and dialogue through concrete case studies of religious boundary-making or ideas about them, situated in the Global South.

There are other visiting fellowships possible at CRASSH, but they must be self-funded.

The Centre for Research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge is starting a new programme of funded Visiting Fellowships for scholars from the Global South. The purpose of these Fellowships is to provide opportunities for scholars working at higher education institutions in the Global South to exchange ideas with other researchers based at CRASSH and elsewhere in the University of Cambridge and to draw benefit from access to the University’s collections and resources. It is hoped that these visits will lead on to future collaborations and exchanges.

For 2024, CRASSH will partner with the Consortium for the Global South at Cambridge. Applications are invited from scholars whose research is connected to the theme of Ecologies in Place, which is one of the Consortium’s research streams. Applicants should note, however, that their research may focus on any ‘place’, not only one that is located within the Global South.

Applications are welcomed from scholars carrying out research on any topic connected to the broad themes of sustainability, human-environmental interactions, resource management, and the differential impacts of climate change. Applicants should primarily be working within the arts, humanities, or social sciences, but interdisciplinary approaches that involve collaboration with the sciences or engineering are also very welcome. Up to three Visiting Fellows will be selected each year from different countries in the Global South.
