SUMMARY:Call for Applications: Harvard Radcliffe Institute Fellowship
DESCRIPTION:Radcliffe fellows are exceptional scientists\, writers\, scholars\, public intellectuals\, and artists whose work is making a difference in their professional fields and in the larger world. \nBased in Radcliffe Yard—a sanctuary in the heart of Harvard University—fellows join a uniquely interdisciplinary and creative community. A fellowship at Radcliffe is an opportunity to step away from usual routines and dive deeply into a project. With access to Harvard’s unparalleled resources\, Radcliffe fellows develop new tools and methods\, challenge artistic and scholarly conventions\, and illuminate our past and our present. \nThroughout the year\, fellows convene regularly to share their work in progress. Coming from diverse disciplines and perspectives\, they challenge each other’s ideas and support each other’s ambitions. Many say that it is the best year of their professional lives. \nOur online application for the 2020–2021 fellowship year is now available. \nThe deadline for applications in humanities\, social sciences\, and creative arts is September 12\, 2019. \nThe deadline for applications in science\, engineering\, and mathematics is October 3\, 2019. \nThe Radcliffe Fellowship Program awards 50 fellowships each academic year. Applicants may apply as individuals or in a group of two to three people working on the same project. We seek diversity along many dimensions\, including discipline\, career stage\, race and ethnicity\, country of origin\, gender and sexual orientation\, and ideological perspective. Although our fellows come from many different backgrounds\, they are united by their demonstrated excellence\, collegiality\, and creativity. \nExplore the broad range of Radcliffe fellows’ projects. The following areas—while not exclusive—are of special interest: \n\nRadcliffe supports engaged scholarship. We welcome applications from scholars and practitioners who connect research to law\, policy\, pressing social issues\, and/or who seek to actively engage audiences beyond academia.\nReflecting Radcliffe’s unique history\, each year some projects focus on women\, gender\, and society or draw on the Schlesinger Library’s rich collections. In 2020–2021\, one fellow will be designated a Mellon-Schlesinger fellow\, as part of the project commemorating the centennial of the 19th Amendment.\n\nWe welcome applications from a broad range of fields.

SUMMARY:Harvard Workshop: Codicology and Islamic Book Art
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Codicology and the Arts of the Book of the Islamic World \nThursday\, February 28\, 10am-noon and 2-4pm \nHoughton Library\, groups meet in lobby \nPlaces are limited. Please register: http://bit.ly/IslamicManuscriptsRettig \nA Hands-on Workshop on Islamic Codicology\nThis workshop provides an opportunity to examine a selection of Islamic manuscripts in the collections of the Houghton Library.

Emphasis will be put on the analysis of visuals elements (layout\, script\, and painting) which testify to the different contexts of creation with geographical\, historical\, and linguistic particularities. I will not only show the manuscripts’ original characteristics but also present the traces which help to understand their later history and usage\, such as signs of refurbishments and marks of ownership. \nWorkshop Leader\nDr. Simon Rettig is Assistant Curator for Islamic Art at the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery\, Smithsonian Institution\, in Washington\, DC. A specialist of the arts of the book in the Islamic world\, he curated the exhibitions Nasta‘liq: The Genius of Persian Calligraphy (2014)\, The art of the Qur’an: Treasures from the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts (2016) and The Prince and the Shah: Royal Portraits from Qajar Iran (2018).

SUMMARY:Harvard Lecture: Religious Minorities in Iran's Constitution
DESCRIPTION:The Iran Circle at Harvard presents a talk in Farsi on “Religious Minorities in Iran’s Constitution\, Civil Law and Criminal Law\,” by Prof. Houchang Chehabi. \nThe Iranian Constitution recognizes four Muslim mazhabs other than Iran’s official Twelver Shi’ism and three religions other than Islam. This does not exhaust Iran’s religious diversity\, however. This talk will look at the various ways Iran’s legal system deals with the issue of religious diversity. \nLocation: Harvard CGIS South\n1730 Cambridge St\, Cambridge\, MA 02138\nBelfer Case Study Room S020

SUMMARY:Harvard Workshop: Art and Court Cultures in the Iberian World
DESCRIPTION:3rd International Workshop: Art and Court Cultures in the Iberian World (1400-1650)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: RCC Conference Room\, 26 Trowbridge St.\, Cambridge MA \nVisual strategies of legitimization became increasingly important for Iberian monarchies during the late medieval and early modern periods. Their dynastic\, diplomatic\, and military endeavors called for effective propaganda\, both in the metropolis and in viceregal territories. Such efforts include architecture\, both ephemeral and permanent\, the decoration of palaces\, court portraiture\, and historiography. The advent of a Monarchia Hispanica under Habsburg rule required careful elaborations of national\, religious\, racial\, and gender identities\, across a mosaic of multilingual and multiethnic populations. This third workshop aims to highlight some of these strategies\, and to consolidate a forum for discussion of further research avenues\, under the guidance of Spanish and American scholars. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram \n15.00 Welcome\, opening remarks and first panel. \n· Cosmopolitan Encounters: Jan van Eyck\, Castile and the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada in the Early Globalization.\nManuel Parada López de Corselas\, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas; Visiting Scholar\, Harvard University. \n· Religious Policies in 15th-Century Castilian Court and the International Context of Flemish Painting.\nJesús Folgado García\, Universidad Eclesiástica San Dámaso\, Madrid.  \n· Arts and Etiquetas: Titles\, Functions\, and the Position of Portraitists at the Court of Philip III.\nWilliam Ambler\, Independent Scholar\, New York City. \nBreak \n17.00 Second panel. \n· Gendered Divisions of Space in Spanish Habsburg Palaces.\nJorge Sebastián Lozano\, Assistant Professor of Art History\, University of Valencia. \n·New Spain in Microcosm: Map-Making and Artisanal Praxis in Viceregal Mexico\nDennis Carr\, Curator of Decorative Arts and Sculpture\, Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston. \nBoth panels will be followed by Q&A and discussion. \nThe discussion will be moderated by Felipe Pereda\, Fernando Zóbel de Ayala Professor of Spanish Art\, Harvard University. \nSponsors: RCC; University of Valencia; Fulbright Commission. \n\n\n\n\n\nSign up for this event

SUMMARY:Harvard Global History Postdoctoral Fellowship
DESCRIPTION:The Weatherhead Initiative on Global History (WIGH) at Harvard University identifies and supports outstanding scholars whose work responds to the growing interest in the encompassing study of global history. We seek to organize a community of scholars interested in the systematic scrutiny of developments that have unfolded across national\, regional\, and continental boundaries and who propose to analyze the interconnections—cultural\, economic\, ecological\, political and demographic—among world societies. We encourage applicants from all over the world\, and especially from outside Europe and North America\, hoping to create a global conversation on global history. \nWIGH Fellows are appointed for one academic year and are provided time\, guidance\, office space\, and access to Harvard University facilities. They should be prepared to devote their entire time to productive scholarship and may undertake sustained projects of research or other original work. They will join a vibrant community of global history scholars at Harvard. \nTerms \nThe competition for these awards is open only to scholars with a PhD (or comparable professional school degree). If still pursuing the PhD\, WIGH Fellows must receive their degree no later than June 2019. There is no limit on time since submission of the candidate’s degree; we are open to candidates at various stages of their careers. We expect that candidates will be able to submit samples of independent work (articles\, papers\, dissertation chapters) in support of their candidacies on request. The WIGH Fellowship is residential and Fellows are expected to live in the Cambridge/Boston area for the duration of their appointments unless traveling for pre-approved research purposes\, and they are expected to participate in WIGH activities\, including a bi-weekly seminar. \nFellows will receive an annual stipend of up to $50\,000\, according to fellows’ needs. Because we cannot always offer the amount requested\, we urge applicants to apply for funding from other sources as well. Applications are welcome from qualified persons without regard to nationality\, gender\, or race. \nWe have additional opportunities for self-funded scholars\, and in those cases will consider single semester appointments. \nHow to Apply \nApplications are due December 20\, 2018. Letters of reference are due by January 10\, 2019. \nApplications should be submitted through our https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/8456. \n\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race\, color\, religion\, sex\, sexual orientation\, gender identity\, national origin\, disability status\, protected veteran status\, pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions\, or any other characteristic protected by law. . \n\nFor additional information contact: \nJessica Barnard\, Program Coordinator\njbarnard@wcfia.harvard.edu\nPhone: +011 (617) 495-8923

SUMMARY:Call for Applications: Harvard Center for Ethics Fellowships
DESCRIPTION:The Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University announces the 2019-20 Call for Applications for our Fellows-in-Residence Program. \nApplication deadline: November 15\, 2018 \nThe Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University invites applications from a broad range of researchers and practitioners who will work over the course of the year on pressing issues in ethics. Faculty in arts and sciences and professional schools\, postdoctoral scholars\, practitioners\, and researchers from industry\, government\, and NGOs are eligible to apply. For the 2019-20 academic year\, the theme at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics will be the Ethics of Technological and Biomedical Innovation. \nPriority will be given to early career scholars and practitioners whose work closely aligns with this theme\, but we reserve some “open” slots for senior scholars and practitioners\, and for exceptionally competitive applicants whose work in ethics falls outside this scope. The goal will be to craft a cohort in which “thematic” fellows and “open” fellows will all find valuable intellectual partnerships to support and spur their work. \nThe one-year fellowship term runs the course of the academic year\, typically from the beginning of September through the end of May. All Fellows-in-Residence will be expected to devote the majority of their time to their individual projects and to participate in regular work-in-progress seminars. In addition\, Fellows are strongly encouraged to participate in the Center’s programming\, which includes public lectures\, themed seminars and reading groups\, conferences\, workshops\, and lunch discussions. \nUnder our new theme\, the Center is pleased to offer joint fellowship opportunities with the following Centers: the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy\, Biotechnology and Bioethics at the Harvard Law School; the Center for Bioethics at the Harvard Medical School; the Center for Research on Computation and Society at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences; and a special AI Initiative joint fellowship with the Berkman-Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. Please note that the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics is no longer able to accept applications for Berggruen Fellowships.
