Job description |
The Jackman Humanities Institute at the University of Toronto seeks 3 Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellows for a two-year appointment 2015-2017 with research relevant to the 2015-16 theme: Things That Matter Because words are the privileged medium of communication, things have long been characterized as mute. However, a focus on material culture has provided a particularly fruitful field of research in the humanities. Things bear affective, social, cultural, historical, religious, economic, and political meanings and relations. They can be traces of the past, commodities or gifts, symbols of the divine, tools, raw or natural materials, or works of art, furnishings or decorations, or merely be moved out of our way. They provide insights into how people make sense of experience and come together as societies. Whether as relics of ancient cultures or as contemporary commodities, things are at the heart of humanities disciplines. How can we make them talk? What do things tell us about societies and their histories? Fellowships begin 1 July 2015. Eligibility: Ph.D. completed between 1 July 2012 and 1 May 2015. Apply at www.humanities.utoronto.ca by 1 December 2014
Electronic applications submitted online only (no paper, faxes, or email submissions). |
