[Discussion] Recognition. The Law & Culture Fellowship

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

The Center for the Study of Law and Culture at Columbia University
invites applications for residential fellowships for the 2005-2006
academic year to undertake research, writing and discussion in ways that
span traditional academic disciplines. The CSLC welcomes scholars from
any field who are interested in spending the academic year in residence
at Columbia Law School working on scholarly projects related to the
CSLC's 2005-2006 theme: Recognition. The Law & Culture Fellowship is
available to senior graduate students and post-doctoral candidates.

Founded in the fall of 2000, the Center for the Study of Law and Culture
is an initiative at Columbia Law School designed to facilitate
interdisciplinary study, research and scholarship on the intersections
of law and culture. Our goal is to make the CSLC an institutional site
for coordinating and coalescing the important, yet dispersed,
interrogations of the relationship between law and culture that are
already being undertaken across disciplines at Columbia University. By
promoting and providing a home for cross-disciplinary engagement and
collaboration, the CSLC will enrich each of our individual projects in
law and culture studies.

Fellows will receive a stipend of $30,000, an office, computer,
eligibility for university housing, and full access to university
libraries, computer systems and recreational facilities. Fellows will be
expected to participate in CSLC activities and will present a paper at
the Center's Colloquium Series.

Applicants should submit:

    * a curriculum vitae
    * a writing sample
    * a research statement (of approximately 1,000 words) that
          o describes the proposed work during the fellowship period
          o explains the project's significance to the topic of Recognition
          o sets forth it's interdisciplinary nature
    * two letters of recommendation.

Applications are due *February 14, 2005.* Faxed or e-mail applications
will NOT be accepted.

Women, people of color, non-US and independent scholars are particularly
invited to apply.
