The National History Center is now accepting applications from 
early-career scholars to participate in the sixth international summer 
seminar on decolonization, which will be held for four weeks, from 
Sunday, July 10, through Saturday, August 6, 2011, in Washington, D.C. 
The seminar is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and takes place 
at the Library of Congress.

The application deadline is November 1, 2010 and due via email at the 
following address: decol2011apply at nationalhistorycenter.org

More information on the seminar and application process available here:

As in the previous five seminars in the series, fifteen participating 
historians will engage in the common pursuit of knowledge about various 
dimensions of 20th-century decolonization in Asia, Africa, and the 
Caribbean. The seminar is an opportunity for the participants to pursue 
research at the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and other 
repositories of historical research materials in Washington, D.C., on 
projects within the overarching theme of decolonization. At the end of 
the four weeks, participants produce a draft article or book chapter 
during their four weeks.

The participants are 15 historians studying various aspects of the 
process of decolonization. Applicants should have either a recent PhD 
and be at the beginning of their careers or be advanced PhD students who 
are nearing completion of their dissertations. Each participant receives 
the cost of an economy roundtrip airfare to Washington, D.C., housing 
for the duration of the seminar, and a stipend to cover per diem 
expenses. Those selected understand that they will actively participate 
in the seminar, including all required meetings and events, for its 
entire duration. The seminar makes an effort to include historians from 
the United States and abroad. Participants selected for the seminar 
commit themselves to actively participating in that seminar for its 
entire duration. They must make their own arrangements to obtain the 
necessary U.S. visas; the National History Center provides any 
documentation that may be required.

Wm. Roger Louis, Kerr Professor of English History and Culture at the 
University of Texas at Austin directs the seminar. Other seminar leaders 
include John Darwin (Univ. of Oxford), Philippa Levine (Univ. of Texas 
at Austin), Jason Parker (Texas A & M Univ.), and Pillarisetti Sudhir (AHA).

Please note that all the academic activities (including discussions and 
written work) will be in English. Applicants must, therefore, be fluent 
in English.
