Applications are called for visiting
fellowships at the Humanities Research Centre,
Australian National University, tenable in
2015. The theme is 'Global Languages': ''How do
societies react to the language challenge
created by the rise of global languages? How do
global languages influence ways of thinking and
reasoning, ways of seeing the world, ways of
expressing feelings? How does this affect small
language groups? How do they influence other
modes of communication?''
Visiting Fellows participate in the programs of
the HRC and ANU, meet regularly with other
fellows, make public presentations of their
research, possibly offer a graduate
seminar/Master Class and avail themselves of
other opportunities for scholarly exchange. The
standard period for visitors is 12 weeks, and
visitors are in residence for at least 75% of
their appointment. The grant covers travel and
accommodation only. The maximum contribution
for travel is $3,000 AUD. Accommodation is in a
one bedroom self-contained apartment on the
university campus. This financial assistance
for travel and accommodation expenses is not a
salary replacement.
