We’re back! After a 3-year hiatus, we are pleased to announce that the Canadian History & Environment Summer School (CHESS) is returning in 2023.

CHESS is an in-person event that brings together graduate students, faculty, and other scholars in the fields of environmental history, historical geography, and the environmental humanities for a weekend of workshops, field trips, public lectures, networking, and more. CHESS 2023 will be held at Western University in London, Ontario from Friday, 26 May to Sunday, 28 May – the weekend immediately preceding the Canadian Historical Association’s annual meeting at York University in Toronto.

CHESS 2023 is a revival of CHESS 2020, which was canceled because of COVID. The theme will once again be energy history, seen through the lens of the 19th century oil industry in southwestern Ontario & nearby Pennsylvania. Both places had their own “Petrolia,” and both were their nation’s – in fact, the world’s – leading oil-producing regions at the time. Petrolia, Ontario and nearby Oil Springs are no longer the centre of Canada’s oil industry, but they do continue to produce oil – with some of the very same 19th century technology.

Das International Council for Canadian Studies / Conseil international d’études canadiennes verlängert dieses Jahr die Bewerbungsfrist bis zum 31. Dezember 2022!

Die Bewerbung für einige der Preise und Förderprogramme (insb. Graduate Student Scholarships!) muss über die jeweilige nationale Fachgesellschaft eingereicht werden, bzw. eine Empfehlung der Fachgesellschaft enthalten. In diesen Fällen reichen Sie Ihre Bewerbung bitte bis zum 15. Dezember 2022 bei der Geschäftsstelle der GKS ein (gks@kanada-studien.de).

Giessen University’s International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (GCSC) offers a three-year, structured PhD-programme in the study of culture, tailored to the needs of PhD students with optimal conditions and a custom-made preparation for the time thereafter. We encourage cooperation across status groups in interdisciplinary research areas and support the organisation of our own conferences and first publications already during the doctorate. Our doctoral students receive intensive supervision in regular research colloquia and financial support for research and conference travel. At the Teaching Centre, they can gain qualifications in higher education didactics and initial experience in university teaching; the GCSC’s own Career Service prepares them for both academic and non-academic careers.

Deadline: January 20, 2023

The Visiting Fellowship program offers scholars at all stages of their careers funding to pursue projects that require in-depth research on the library’s holdings, as well as opportunities to draw on staff expertise and participate in intellectual life at Harvard.

Houghton provides fellows with access to other libraries at the University, and opportunities to exchange knowledge and promote their research through its publications, and scholarly and public programs.

Recent fellows‘ research topics speak to the breadth and depth of Houghton’s holdings—ranging from colonial-era Native American music to the collecting of Sanskrit manuscripts, and Iberian chivalric romances to celebrity pregnancy on the London stage.

Houghton Library has historically focused on collecting the written record of European and Eurocentric North American culture, yet it holds a large and diverse amount of primary sources valuable for research on the languages, culture and history of indigenous peoples of the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania.

The library particularly welcomes proposals that reexamine its collections through a global lens and/or demonstrate how the holdings of a rare book and manuscript library can contribute to discourse around contemporary social, political, and cultural issues. New fellowships on gender and sexuality studies in the performing arts, and early modern black lives underscore Houghton’s commitment to diversifying perspectives on our collections.

Houghton Library is Harvard’s principal repository for rare books and manuscripts, literary and performing arts archives, and more. The Visiting Fellowship Program offers scholars at all stages of their careers funding to pursue projects that require in-depth research on the Library’s holdings.

The application deadline for 2023-2024 fellowships is January 20, 2023.

Recipients will be notified by April 1, 2023.
