Mellon Fellowship Program

The Mellon Fellowship Program is designed to explore, test and refine the concept of diaspora in contemporary usage, a term that, despite its existence for almost two millennia and current extraordinary expansion, still resists clear definition. We are soliciting applications for Postdoctoral Fellows whose work addresses the conceptual complexity of the term and seeks to advance our understanding of the phenomena to which it refers, both through a theoretical examination of the concept as such and via the ways in which its use in the Humanities for the study of diasporic cultures, communities, arts and literatures can help to bring analytic coherence to the term."
