Duke University Postdoctoral Associate for Mellon Sawyer Seminar: “Sharing Ground: Humanities, Academic Freedom and the Future of the University”

Deadline:

January 15

Length/Track:

Nine months

Description:

“The Humanist-in-Residence will participate in the seminar meetings while also developing a year-long project on the theme of “Sharing Ground”: how the humanities have conceptualized academic freedom and imagined and preserved democracy within the university, and how they might continue to shape these ideals in the years ahead. The project should use humanistic approaches to mediate between the often inert or sequestered materials of archives and policy websites and lived experience, doing so in ways that invigorate practices of free expression in the university. Documentary or archival approaches are preferred, but we are open to all methods and humanistic fields of inquiry.”
