Brown University is seeking young scholars and faculty members who may be interested in participating in the Brown International Advanced Research Institutes (BIARI) this June. BIARI was launched in 2009 by the Brown Office of International Affairs, with support from Santander Universities, and is an integral part of Brown President Simmons’ plan for internationalization. BIARI seeks to develop an academic platform for young faculty from the global south, with Brown at its hub. BIARI 2009, with its four intensive two-week Institutes designed and led by Brown faculty, was a resounding success, and brought together 150 young scholars from 50 countries with over 70 leading academics who participated as invited guest faculty members. This year, the four BIARI will be:

- Development and Inequality in the Global South (June 6 -19)
- Towards a Critical Global Humanities (June 6 -19)
- Climate Change and Its Impacts: Resilience and Adaptation to Changes in Precipitation (June 13-26)
- Technology, Entrepreneurship and Management (June 13-26)

The target group is junior faculty members, but the organizers are also open to applications from late-stage PhD candidates of exceptional promise and will consider all applicants regardless of geographic location. The application deadline is March 15th, 2010. Complete information on BIARI and the June 2010 Institutes, as well as application guidelines, can be found on the BIARI website.

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.

The IHR’s Visiting Fellows program is for scholars from other institutions of higher education in the US and abroad to come to ASU for the spring semester. Combined with the IHR’s fellowships fo ASU faculty, the program brings together groups of scholars to pursue research and writing, and to contribute to the general enrichment of humanities scholarship by giving seminars and public lectures on their research topics. The 2010-2011 theme is The Humanities and Human Origins, which is intended to engage humanities scholars from various disciplines in addressing and analyzing the role of the humanities in illuminating—and possibly enriching scientific inquiry into—human origins. A second theme entails analysis of humans as the source of origins and as beings who value origins and originals. The deadline is March 1, 2010.
