ACLS African Humanities Program competition 2015-16

 

ACLS African Humanities Program competition
in Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda, 2015-16

The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), with financial support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, announces competitions for:
• Dissertation-completion fellowships in Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda
• Early-career postdoctoral fellowships in Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Africa
Stipends are $10,000 for dissertation-completion Fellows and $17,000 for postdoctoral Fellows, plus an additional $1,000 per Fellow for books and media at both award levels. Fellowships release recipients from teaching and other duties for an academic year to permit full-time research and writing. (They may be used to “buy time.”) Recipients of both kinds of fellowship are also eligible for further support in the form of a residency at a participating research center in Africa for a sustained period of writing. Approximately forty fellowships will be awarded annually in all five countries combined. Awards will be decided by an international committee of distinguished scholars in the humanities.
