Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis
Deadline: March 1, 2010

The Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis invites applications from all disciplines for post-doctoral resident fellowships to be held during the academic year of 2010-2011 from individuals working on topics related to Narratives of Power. Inspired by the election of Barack Obama, this two-year seminar invites a broad historical meditation on the significance of historically marginal and disfranchised groups moving from the periphery to the center of social, political and cultural institutions. This topical theme creates an opportunity for an expansive, interdisciplinary dialogue about intersection, overlap, and conflict across different channels of power and identity, including race, gender, sexuality and class. We welcome scholars from all disciplines, global regions, and time periods for a wide-ranging exploration of themes of identity, narration and power. Rutgers is an AA/EOE institution. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Not limited to recent PhDs. Applicants and those interested in presenting a paper related to this project during 2010/2011 should contact project directors Profs. Donna Murch and Deborah Gray White, Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis, 88 College Ave., New Brunswick, NJ 08901-8542 USA.
