I Tatti/DHI Rom Joint Fellowship for African Studies 2023-2024
By providing and encouraging opportunities for inter-disciplinary collaboration, particularly between academics from African regions and those working in European and North American institutions, I Tatti and the DHI Rom hope to encourage and support increased scholarship on cultural exchange with and within the African continent during the period between 1250 and 1750. The fellowship provides ten-month positions to do historical study in Italy with the support of two institutes with vibrant academic communities for post-doctoral academics focusing on African studies (or themes that closely consider Africa).
