ACLS Announces 2010-2011 African Humanities Program Fellowship Competition

The African Humanities Program at the American Council of Learned
Societies (ACLS),with financial support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, announces competitions for:

* Early career postdoctoral fellowships in Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania,
Uganda, and South Africa

* Dissertation completion fellowships in Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, and
Uganda (there are no dissertation fellowships in South Africa)

Both fellowships provide one year of support for research and writing to
scholars based on the continent and affiliated with institutions of higher learning
in Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Africa. Scholars working in any
humanistic discipline normally supported by the ACLS are encouraged to apply.
In addition to one year of stipend support, each ACLS AHP fellow is also eligible to
apply for a three-month residency as a visiting scholar at one of several select
institutions for advanced research on the continent.
