Deadline: 16 September 2024
The NYU Abu Dhabi Humanities Research Fellowship for the Study of the Arab World program invites applications for its third Graduate Student Research Workshop to be hosted on February 24-26, 2025 at NYU Abu Dhabi.
The workshop provides the opportunity for current advanced doctoral candidates who are currently in the writing stage to present, discuss, and receive valuable feedback on their research. Accepted applicants will pre-circulate an English-language chapter of their project and orally present a short overview of the project, raising questions or challenges to be discussed with the group.
Applications are encouraged for projects that range broadly across the arts, humanities, and social sciences related to the study of the Arab world, broadly defined, its rich literature and history, its cultural and artistic heritage, and its manifold connections with other cultures.
Cost Covered
- The Humanities Research Fellowship for the Study of the Arab World program will cover travel costs to and from Abu Dhabi, accommodation, and meals during the three-day workshop.
Expectations
- Participants will read and discuss each other’s work in addition to presenting their own. NYUAD-based scholars in a variety of disciplines will offer feedback on the students’ projects and questions related to research, writing, and professional development. The workshop is also an opportunity to meet, learn from, and develop relationships with colleagues in the field.
- Participants will be required to prepare a 10-minute presentation of their research project, which will be followed by 10 minutes of commentary from an assigned discussant, and a 35-minute open discussion. They will also be expected to have read each participant’s paper (dissertation chapter) and be prepared to provide comments on these papers during the workshop.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Humanities Research Fellowship for the Study of the Arab World program welcomes applications from international doctoral students who finished with their qualifying exams and are in the writing stage of their dissertations with the opportunity to present and thoroughly discuss their Ph.D. projects related to the Arab world.
- They do not accept applications other than from those currently in the process of earning their PhD.
- Applicants may be writing their dissertation in languages other than English but they kindly request submission of application materials and workshop chapter in English.
