The Davis Center Fellows Program at Harvard University is now accepting applications for
2012-2013.
Online info session, Thursday, December 1, 2 p.m. EST
Register by emailing Robyn Angley
(rangley@fas.harvard.edu<mailto:rangley@fas.harvard.edu>) by 5 p.m. on Wednesday,
November 30.
The Fellows Program brings together scholars at early and later stages in their careers to
consider a common theme spanning the social sciences and humanities. The program is
coordinated by faculty from across Harvard University whose research interests include
aspects of the selected theme. In 2012-2013, the Fellows Program will be coordinated by
Professors Tim Colton (Government) and Serhii Plokhii (History).
The theme for 2012-2013 is "Imperial Legacies and International Politics in the
Post-Soviet Space." Areas to be explored under this theme include history, identity
issues, security, political economy, and regime building in Russia, Ukraine, and other
countries of the region. Other topics of interest include social and cultural factors such
as migration, public health, religion, organized crime, environmental degradation, popular
culture, and the mass media.
In addition to pursuing their own research, Fellows will participate in a bi-weekly
interdisciplinary seminar series that will explore the theme. Papers will be presented by
the visiting Fellows, Harvard faculty, and invited outside speakers. For more detailed
information on the Fellows Program, and opportunities to apply for regional, postdoctoral,
and senior fellowships, please visit the Davis Center web site,

Note that scholars whose work does not address the annual theme may still apply for
fellowships at the Davis Center; their applications will receive full consideration.
