The <strong>Thyssen@KWI Fellowship<\/strong>, financed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fritz-thyssen-stiftung.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fritz Thyssen Foundation<\/a>, is integrated into the fellowship programme and reaches out to excellent researchers of all nationalities with a completed PhD plus several years of post-doctoral experience.<\/p>\n<p>To apply, various project formats are possible: Fellows might devote their time in Essen to finishing a book or a special issue, to finalizing a research proposal or setting up a research group. We also welcome plans to establish or substantiate collaborations with the universities of the Ruhr Alliance.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, research at KWI focuses on the following areas: science studies, visual literacy, aesthetic practices, constellations of historical impact, and dialogues between the cultural and social sciences. It is one of KWI\u2019s main goals to find new ways of linking research questions, concepts, methods and theories of philology, cultural studies and the social sciences. We are dedicated to pursuing our interdisciplinary agenda through international collaboration. An important contribution to our scholarly and political work comes from the Academy in Exile, offering research space to colleagues whose academic freedom is threatened.<\/p>\n<p>Contact:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:international.fellowship@uni-due.de\">international.fellowship@uni-due.de<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are dedicated to pursuing our interdisciplinary agenda through international collaboration.
