Fellowship Program at the Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in America

The Fellowship Program at the Italian Academy focuses on issues relating to cultural identity, cultural transmission, and cultural memory. It has a twofold aim: to sustain the vitality of the many aspects of culture that are endangered by globalization, and to forge genuinely new links between the arts, the sciences and the social sciences.

Applications are invited for Fellowships in these areas, particularly-but not exclusively-with regard to Italy. Theoretical, monographic, and positivist approaches will be equally welcomed. Applications dealing with the scientific, sociological and technological aspects of culture and memory are encouraged. Approximately 15 Fellowships will be awarded every year. Fellows are chosen by a jury of experts in the relevant fields.

Preference will be given to candidates who plan to work with scholars at Columbia, but other candidates will also be considered.
