ANNOUNCES VISITING MEMBER AWARDS FOR 2006-2007
in
THE SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE

THE SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE each year invites as Members some fifteen =
to twenty scholars from a large applicant pool. The group is =
interdisciplinary and international. A completed doctorate or equivalent =
is required of all applicants; memberships are awarded at both the =
junior and senior levels. Visiting Members are expected to pursue their =
own research, but the School organizes a seminar on the year's focus and =
a  weekly lunch at which Members as well as invited guests present their =
on-going work. The School is not wedded to any particular intellectual =
or disciplinary approach. It welcomes applications in economics, =
political science, law, psychology, sociology, and anthropology. It =
encourages social scientific work
with an historical and humanistic bent and also entertains applications =
in history, philosophy, literary criticism, literature, and linguistics. =
Member awards are funded by the Institute for Advanced Study or by other =
sources, including the National Endowment for the Humanities and the =
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The theme for 2006-07 is The "Third World" Now. The last sixty years =
have seen a dramatic change in the shape of the world. Colonial empires =
have dissolved either violently or peacefully and a new international =
system has taken shape. From the original 42 members of the League of =
Nations, the United Nations has grown to 191. In many states founded by =
charismatic spokesmen for national liberation there are now a second =
generation of more=20
managerial types. And there is a different, volatile configuration of =
alliances and antagonisms among them. There have been many studies over =
the years of such matters as the modernization and development of =
emerging economies postcolonial culture and politics, ethnic rivalries =
within and among nations, and post-Cold War realignments. Most such =
studies have been conducted within the context of "globalization," and =
have used categories of analysis that, in the light of recent history, =
appear dated and inadequate to the task. What is lacking, and what we =
are hoping to provide, is a map of structure, and form. Such a map =
requires not only empirical work (from historians, ethnographers, =
political economists, geographers, sociologists), but new and revised =
categories of analysis that will illuminate the patterns that have =
emerged. We want to bring together a group of scholars from all over the =
world whose individual work (substantive and focused as well as =
theoretical) will contribute to the drawing of this map and who =
collectively will articulate the analytic categories that can make sense =
of the "third world" as it is now. Please note that applications that do =
not fall within the parameters of the theme for 2006-2007 will also =
receive full consideration.

COMPLETED APPLICATIONS MUST BE POSTMARKED BY NOVEMBER 15, 2005.

Frederick Burkhardt Fellowships

In the 2006-2007 academic year, the Institute will again take part in a =
program sponsored by the American Council of Learned Societies: the =
Frederick Burkhardt Fellowships. These fellowships support more =
adventurous, more wide-ranging and longer-term patterns of research than =
are current in the humanities and related social sciences. Depending on =
the availability of funds, ACLS will provide funding for up to eleven =
recently tenured faculty,=20
most of whom will spend a year at one of several residential research =
centers, including the Institute for Advanced Study. A scholar applying =
for the academic year 2005-2006 must normally have begun his/her tenured =
contract at a U.S. institution no earlier than the fall 2000 semester. =
Applicants must submit a research plan typically covering a three to =
five year period, during which time one year could be spent as a Member =
at the Institute, either in the School of Historical Studies or the =
School of Social Science. Qualified candidates who would like to apply =
for affiliation with either school of the Institute for Advanced Study =
under the auspices of this program should visit the ACLS website =
(www.acls.org) for a more detailed description of the terms of the =
fellowship and information about how to apply. Applications for this =
program must be submitted through the ACLS=20
Online Fellowship Application system (OFA) no later than 9 p.m., Eastern =
Daylight Time, September 30, 2004. OFA is accessible at =
http://ofa.acls.org or through the ACLS website. Information about this =
program may also be obtained from the=20
ACLS Fellowships Office, 633
Third Avenue, 8th floor,
New York, NY 10017-6795.

Please note that the Burkhardt Fellowship Competition is in addition to =
the School's fellowship program and that one does not have to be =
recently tenured to apply for the School's awards.

The INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY was founded in 1930 as a community of =
postdoctoral scholars where intellectual inquiry could be carried out in =
the most favorable circumstances. It provides libraries, offices, =
personal computers, seminar and lecture rooms, subsidized restaurant and =
housing facilities, and some secretarial services.=20
