Harvard's Center for Hellenic Studies in Greece (CHS Greece) is pleased to offer two fellowships to junior faculty members (Lecturers or Assistant Professors) and Scientific and Laboratory Teaching Staff who hold a PhD ("ΕΔΙΠ" and "ΕΕΠ"), from Schools of Humanities and Social Sciences of Greek Universities.

This year's cycle of the fellowship program in Comparative Cultural Studies runs under the topic "Outsiders and Insiders: Identity, Agency, and Inclusivity in the Humanities and Social Sciences." Applicants should submit proposals of research topics revolving around the key issues of self and other, inclusion or exclusion from social processes, through rewards or stigmatization, either in the arts (literature, theatre, cinema, and the visual arts) or the social sciences (history, social studies, political science). Preference will be given to inventive and original research questions, as well as proposals addressing contemporary issues from a comparative perspective.

As part of their appointment, fellows will be invited to present their proposed project to the CHS research community on a date to be determined according to their availability. The fellowship includes year-long access to all Harvard electronic resources, support of up to €2000 as a research fund, and invitations to present their research on CHS websites, social and other media.
