Thought this was topical for Australian cultural studies people (even
though it's finally been raining in Brisbane, hooray)

ANNOUNCING
THE SOCIETY FOR THE HUMANITIES FELLOWSHIPS
AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY
2008-2009

 
        The Society for the Humanities at Cornell University invites
applications for our 2008-2009 fellowship competition.  Applicants
should be working on topics related to the year's focal theme,  "Water,
A Critical Concept for the Humanities." We welcome scholarly reflection
on critical concepts of water from a broad range of disciplinary and
inter-disciplinary perspectives. While well-established as a subject of
literary, historical, political, and aesthetic analysis, water also
traverses emergent fields of inquiry such as ecopoetics and ecopolitics,
ancient studies, critical geography, mapping and cartography,
environmental humanities, oceanic studies, indigenous studies, and
studies of diasporic arts and cultures. Verena Andermatt Conley of
Harvard University (author of Ecopolitics: The Environment in
Poststructuralist Thought) and Marcus Rediker (author of The Slave Ship:
A Human History) will be Senior Scholars in Residence.
        The fellowships are held for one academic year.  Each Society
Fellow will receive $45,000.  Applicants living outside North America
are eligible for an additional $2000 to assist with travel costs. For
application instruction and a more detailed statement of the focal
theme, please visit  our web-site at www.arts.cornell.edu/sochum/.
