Since 2008, CHS has generously supported the Harvard Summer Program in Nafplio and Thessaloniki (Greece),
by offering two research fellowships to a) junior faculty members
(Adjunct Lecturers, Lecturers or Assistant Professors) and b) Scientific
and Laboratory Teaching Staff (“ΕΔΙΠ” and “ΕΕΠ”) who hold a PhD, of
Schools of Humanities and Social Sciences from Greek Universities.
About the program
The fellows participate in the program by presenting their research
and interacting with colleagues and students from the U.S. and all
around the world, while the team exchanges experiences and ideas about
their different educational systems.
The fellowships aim to attract applicants with an academic background
strongly related with the disciplines of Comparative Cultural Studies,
the academic core of this program. CHS gives preference to those whose
application and cover letter suggests that they would be comfortable
working in an intimate, international, multilingual community of
scholars. Former experience in similar academic programs/activities in
Greece or abroad will be taken into consideration.
The fellowship includes:
- Year-long appointment as CHS Fellow in Comparative Cultural Studies in Greece.
-
Year-long access to all Harvard electronic resources. The fellows
will receive an ID and HarvardKey to have access to all digital
libraries, available through the Harvard University library system.
-
A week-long stay in Nafplio or in Thessaloniki in July 2020 (dates to
be determined). The fellows will join the summer program and interact
with the students and the faculty. They will attend all seminars taught
during that week and address a one-hour lecture to the students on their
respective fields of interest. The Center covers accommodation,
transportation, breakfast and dinner, during the fellow’s stay with the
summer program, and offers a stipend aiming to cover additional
expenses.
Collaborating Educational Institutions
In the past, fellows came primarily from the Universities of Patras
and Ioannina. Since 2016, CHS opened applications to all Humanities and
Social Sciences Schools of Higher Education in Greece.
