Amherst College Center for Humanistic Inquiry (CHI) Postdoctoral Fellowship/Visiting Lectureship — Tools

Deadline:

February 1

Length/Track:

Two years

Description:

“In colloquy with one another and the Amherst community, CHI Fellows will explore the theme of Tools. We invite applications from scholars whose research or creative work takes up some aspect of our theme (described in more detail below).”

Tools description:

“The Center for Humanistic Inquiry at Amherst College invites applications for four post- doctoral scholars whose work considers the theme of tools and the role they have played in defining the human and the humanities. The theme is to be understood broadly—open to studies of tools from the most rudimentary to the most technologically advanced, from the manual to the digital, the silex axe to the silicon chip. The theme encompasses such functional synonyms of tools as devices, gadgets, apparatuses, and prostheses, etc.—in short, the equipment that figures centrally to narratives regarding the making and unmaking of the human and of the world.”
