New Early Career Fellowship for Global Scholars
New Early Career Fellowship for Global Scholars
I am delighted to announce a new early career fellowship for global scholars. The fellowship provides resources to attend a mentoring conference hosted by the Department of Global & International Studies at the University of California Irvine (Jan 31 - Feb 1, 2020).
The conference mission is to increase the visibility in the Euro-American academy of critical interdisciplinary scholarship emanating from the global south and engaging non-western epistemologies, theories, and critical methodologies. Our hope is to promote a broadening of knowledge production and bring new perspectives to bear on a wide range of pressing global issues.
The conference will host panels that provide junior scholars with a venue to discuss and receive feedback on their research from distinguished global scholars. The discussion is designed to help junior scholars publish their work and to build scholarly networks.
The deadline for applications for the Global Scholar Early Career Fellowship is Friday, October 18, 2019. Details about the application process can be found at the conference website: https://www.globalstudies.uci.edu/conference/index.php.
We will also have a distinguished keynote address open to the public. This year's keynote will be delivered by Boaventura de Sousa Santos who will be speaking from his new book The End of the Cognitive Empire: The Coming of Age of Epistemologies of the South. http://www.boaventuradesousasantos.pt/pages/en/homepage.php.
