Thematic Residency

The program is not currently accepting applications. Please check back in 2009 for updated information.

The Program supports projects relevant to the study of Africa in the humanities and social sciences.

Each year, for spring (January-May) residencies, the Program assembles a cross-disciplinary, cross-regional group of Fellows with shared interest in a broad theme. For these spring residencies, applicants are asked to address the announced theme. For fall (August-December) residencies a particular topic is not imposed.
