The Center for Jewish History is proud to announce the creation of an expanded fellowship program. The program features four new endowed 10-month fellowships in addition to one existing 12-month fellowship and two short-term fellowships. The seven fellowships constitute the nucleus of a projected Institute for Advanced Jewish Historical Research.
The fellowships will support original research using the collections of the Center’s five partners: American Jewish Historical Society, American Sephardi Federation, Leo Baeck Institute, Yeshiva University Museum, and YIVO Institute. Preference will be given to those candidates who draw on the archival and library resources of more than one partner institution. The fellowships are open to a range of senior scholars, early career scholars, and advanced graduate students who have completed all the requirements (i.e., coursework, exams, dissertation proposal) for the doctoral degree apart from the dissertation.
Fellows are encouraged to spend at least three days per week in residence in the Lillian Goldman Reading Room using archival and library resources. Fellows are expected to participate in the Center for Jewish History Fellowship Seminar Program, attend all the meetings of the fellowship program cohort, present a pre-circulated paper to be discussed at one of those meetings, deliver a minimum of one lecture based on research conducted at CJH, and submit a report upon completion of the fellowship describing their experience as a Center Fellow.

Lessons of the Cold War? - Visegrad Scholarship at the Blinken OSA Archivum
Fellowship Link:
Location: Hungary
Subject Fields:
Eastern Europe History / Studies, European History / Studies, Human Rights, Modern European History / Studies, Social History / Studies
In the context of the current invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing tragic war, many analysts have claimed that we face the real end of (or the confirmation) of the Cold War and its dichotomies. What we witness would be the outright confrontation between civic liberalism and autocracy, or the “West” and the “East”. According to Stephen Kotkin, even if post-communist societies have changed, a military-police dictatorship in some former satellite countries is still fighting a “West” seen as enemy, and this has the reverse consolidating effect on the West which re-emerged and stood up against Putin.
We invite historians, researchers, political scientists, sociologists and socially engaged artists to reflect on the lessons from/of the Cold War by taking cues from the Blinken OSA Archivum collections. The applicants are encouraged to reflect on the connections as well as on the differences between current times and the past by following some recommended sub-topics listed below.
- The importance of homegrown dissident cultures of truth telling and the related counterpropaganda in minimizing them as foreign agents.
- Histories of Soviet invasions (1956, 1968, 1979), their stakes, misunderstandings, and miscalculations.
- The political instrumentalization and hollowing of concepts, such as “fascism”, “Nazism,” and “imperialism”.
- The demonizing methods of propaganda (as not just an alternative regime of facts, but as a stigmatizing tool).
- The power of stories: revisionist and public usages of history for political ends.
- The relationship between foreign policy, strategic security, and energy relations (at global scale, too).
- Lessons from the international security crises (Berlin in 1961, Cuba in 1962, the Sino Soviet split).
- Informational asymmetries (cultures of secrecy and obscure decision-making versus cultures of openness and liberalism).
- Histories and efficacy of human rights advocacy with regards to abusive regimes.
- Post-'89 transitions and their connections to the Cold War (reproduction of secret police networks and the new oligarchies, different understandings of the role of State, the subordination of the legal system, etc.).
- Conditions for the maintenance/disruptions of autocratic regimes (the role of ideology, political patronage, corruption, etc.).
- Retroactive assessment of international responses to political and security crises: the role of appeasement, of “stability”.
- Uncovering the roots of local initiatives for autonomy and reform of politics and society in the Soviet Union, based on the extensive holdings in the Blinken OSA Archivum of Russian regional and provincial newspapers during the late perestroika period. (Work with Professor Rieber, author of Stalin as Warlord (Yale University Press, 2022)).
- Un/silencing suppressed voices: detecting instances of epistemic violence/harm and recreating narratives of people pushed at the margins of society (ethnic, religious or sexual minorities, people with disabilities) in Cold War and transitional archives.
We recommend you refer to one of the topics in your application. Please also mention the specific collections you would like to consult. We also suggest possible collections to be investigated, such as the research corpora of Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty, Records of Index on Censorship, Records of the EU Monitoring and Advocacy Programs, Soviet Propaganda Film collection, Records related to the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, Records of the Constitutional and Legal Policy Institute, etc.
Blinken OSA Archivum collections and research tips
The archival collection and research papers of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty constitute the most comprehensive Cold War and post-Cold War archive about the problems of Communism and its aftermath in the early years of post-socialist and post-communist transition. The collection offers important tips both about facts as well as about their conceptualizations from 1949 to 1994. Scholars particularly interested in the former Soviet Union as well as in the aftermath of its dissolution can find relevant the rich collection of sub-fonds Soviet Red Archives, Samizdat Archives, and the Soviet Research Department of the RFE/RL Research Institute (to be compared with the RFE/ RL Russian broadcast recordings). These sub-fonds and series allowed the radios to extract reliable data from the massive body of media produced by the Soviet republics; the Western Press Archives contain the Western representations about the phenomena in the communist bloc and beyond it, about the transition in the 1990s. This archival collection also holds several series of biographical files about major historical figures, dissidents, leaders of national minorities, and those persecuted by the political regimes of that time.
We also suggest many other possible archival collections to be investigated, such as the records of Index on Censorship, the Soviet Propaganda Film collection, the records related to the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, the documents of the Constitutional and Legal Policy Institute, the records of the Forced Migration projects at the Open Society Institute, the records of the International Human Rights Law Institute relating to the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, the records of the American Refugee Committee Balkan’s Programs, the Gary Filerman Collection on Hungarian Refugees from 1956, etc.
Blinken OSA Archivum research program
The current call is part of a reflexive-research program at Blinken OSA Archivum interested in connecting past issues related to oppressive regimes, censorship, violence and information manipulation to current phenomena. We would like to assess the potential of a genealogical project linking the contemporary epistemic and political crisis of democracy to past modes of inquiry and activism.
Admission:
We seek to promote exchanges among people with backgrounds in the arts, humanities and social sciences in the way they think through and about archives while being concerned with current problems. From this point of view, the invitation is not only addressed to scholars working specifically on Cold War topics, but to all those interested in theories of knowledge, who would use Blinken OSA Archivum documents as props for larger reflections and activist concerns.
Fellowship requirements and Blinken OSA Archivum support
While working on their own subject, fellows will have the opportunity to collaborate with Blinken OSA Archivum researchers and to transform their archival investigation into a full research experience. The fellows are invited to give a final presentation about their research findings at Blinken OSA Archivum and the ways in which the documents were relevant to their research. The presentations are organized within the Visegrad Scholarship at Blinken OSA Archivum lecture series and as such are open for the general public.
Blinken OSA Archivum academic and archival staff will assist the fellows in their investigations, facilitate contact with the CEU community, and grant access to the CEU library. Besides its archival analogue collections, Blinken OSA Archivum can also offer access to unique, audio-visual materials related to documentary practices, a special collection of RFE (anti)propaganda books and a growing collection on digital humanities, human rights, archival theory and philosophy.
About the Fellowship:
The twenty grants of 3000 euro each are designed to provide access to the archives for scholars, artists, and journalists, and to cover travel to and from Budapest, a modest subsistence, and accommodation for a research period of eight weeks. Stipends for shorter periods are pro-rated.
Applicants, preferably but not exclusively, from a V4 country, may be researchers, students after their second degree carrying out research, or artists, journalists, academics, or both.
Scholars at risk from war zones as well as refugees of conscience (scholars fleeing authoritarian regimes) are especially invited to apply.
Submission deadlines for the 2023/24 academic year
- November 15, 2023.
Assessment:
The Selection Committee will evaluate proposals on the strength of the professional quality and novelty of the research proposal, its relevance to the chosen topic and the involvement of the Blinken OSA Archivum holdings in the research. In the case of equal scores those from V4 countries have an advantage. The artists submitting proposals are kindly required to frame their application as research-based projects as well, carefully indicating the collections they will rely on. The artistic proposals will be assessed according to their merit, originality, timeliness as well as their feasibility (with regards to their reliance on available Blinken OSA Archivum collections). Blinken OSA Archivum can only offer conditions for the realization of artistic research, not for production.

- Princeton University, History Department Davis Center Fellowship for Truth and Information
- Princeton University, History DepartmentDavis Center Fellowship for Truth and InformationDecember 1, 2023https://history.princeton.edu/news-events/news/apply-now-davis-center-fellowship-truth-and-informationRecent debates about truth, lies, and authenticity have reminded us that truth has a history, and that the meaning of truthfulness and justice keep changing over time. The Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies at Princeton University seeks applications from scholars exploring the historical evolution of regimes and practices of establishing, telling, and writing truth. We understand the notion of truth broadly: as a philosophical and epistemological category, an ideal of social equity and political justice, and a principle governing historical writing, legal, and scientific investigation. We invite historians who study the role of ideology, religion, informational technology, and media in the historical evolution of truth. We are also interested in projects on the history of lying, deception, and misinformation. Intellectual historians, historians of art, gender, race, sexuality, information, governance, science, and technology from antiquity to the modern period whose work engages with these subjects are encouraged to apply. Topics may include (but are not limited to) the use and misuse of facts in political propaganda, problems of evidence and objectivity, authenticity and source criticism, fakes, forgery and conspiracy theories, and diplomatic, inter- and intra- national reconciliation. The Davis Center offers fellowships for either one semester (expected to be September–December or February–June) or the academic year. Though the Center is normally able to offer fellowship support for only a single semester, it welcomes the residence of year-long Fellows who combine Center support with funds from elsewhere. Applicants are encouraged to apply for external funds or sabbatical support, and to apply for a year’s Fellowship if they have a reasonable expectation of bringing additional funds with them.

The international scholarship programme is open to all historically oriented disciplines. It supports projects that are geared towards researching the holdings of all three institutions, linking them and relating them to each other. A clearly justified reference to the collections held on site in each case is therefore indispensable. The Gotha locations of the University of Erfurt with the universally oriented collections of the former ducal house of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg, especially in the Gotha Research Library, the Francke Foundations in Halle with the Historical Library and the famous Cabinet of Artefacts and Natural Curiosities from 1736/41, as well as the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel as the most important early modern library in Germany, are among the outstanding collections and research institutions for the cultural history of European early modern times (temporal focus before 1800). The collection holdings are also often thematically complementary to each other. Corresponding topics and questions can therefore often be worked on equally at all three locations; at the same time, however, many research projects could benefit considerably from the simultaneous use of the holdings of all three institutions. In future, this research will be specifically supported by the joint scholarship programme.
- The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) AVDF/ACLS Fellowships for Research on the Liberal Arts
- The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS)AVDF/ACLS Fellowships for Research on the Liberal ArtsDecember 15, 2023https://www.acls.org/competitions/avdf-acls-fellowships-for-research-on-the-liberal-arts/The American Council of Learned Societies invites applications for the inaugural AVDF/ACLS Fellowships for Research on the Liberal Arts, made possible by a generous grant from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations. This peer-reviewed fellowship program provides funding and data training for up to five scholarly projects that draw upon the newly available College and Beyond II (CBII) database. he College and Beyond II (CBII) database is a data resource for studying the impact and outcomes of higher education. It contains student record and transcript data on bachelor’s-seeking undergraduates at 19 public colleges and universities that offer a liberal arts education. These data are linkable to qualitative data on course content and survey data on long-term life outcomes. CBII was produced by a team of researchers from the University of Michigan and supported by a grant from the Mellon Foundation, which recognized the dearth of data to support analysis on the varied psycho-social, civic, and career paths of college students who pursue a liberal arts education. CBII represents a general-use study; its data support research on a wide array of student experiences and outcomes. The CBII post-college survey of alumni purposefully collected data on domains often hypothesized to be improved by studying the liberal arts, such as democratic engagement, contentment and well-being, tolerance of diversity, career adaptability, and more. Before the advent of today’s powerful administrative data management systems, it was impossible to study the full path of students’ curricular journeys—the composition of their classes and the characteristics of their classmates—in the way the CBII now allows. By connecting these textured data on the undergraduate experience to later life outcomes, researchers may now test the association between educational experiences and later life outcomes. The CBII’s survey data capture a wide range of post-college outcomes, personal traits, and views. Proposals from empirical social scientists, humanists, researchers working outside the arts and sciences, and researchers working outside the academy are welcome.

- The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS)ACLS Digital Justice GrantsDecember 15, 2023https://www.acls.org/programs/acls-digital-justice-grants/The ACLS Digital Justice Grant program is designed to promote and provide resources for projects at various stages of development that diversify the digital domain, advance justice and equity in digital scholarly practice, and/or contribute to public understanding of racial and social justice issues. This program especially supports projects that engage with the interests and histories of people of color and other historically marginalized communities, including (but not limited to) Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities; people with disabilities; and queer, trans, and gender nonconforming people. In this way, the program seeks to address the inequities in the distribution of access to tools and support for digital work among scholars across various fields, those working with under-utilized or understudied source materials, and those in institutions with less support for digital projects. The program offers two kinds of grants: Digital Justice Seed Grants for projects at early stages of development; and Digital Justice Development Grants for projects that have advanced beyond the start-up or early phases of development. All grantees have the opportunity to receive tailored coaching from the Nonprofit Financing Fund in order to plan for the long-term stewardship and sustainability of their projects.
