Vossius Research Fellow Francesca Zantedeschi

Vossius Research Fellow Stefan Poland

Vossius Seminar

Joep Leerssen will in his introduction briefly look at the use of genealogical paradigms in the early-19th-century humanities after antiquarianism. Francesca Zantedeschi focuses on the works of two French philologists, Gaston Paris and Arsène Darmesteter. Stefan Poland outlines a digital, database-driven, research approach enabling us to map the interdisciplinary dynamics in the nineteenth-century production of ‘racial knowledge.’
 

Vossius Fund for Research Fellows open for applications

Research Fellows

Meant for inviting top researchers for 1-3 months to the UvA. There are two kinds of fellowships:

• A Junior Fellow carries out research in the field of history of humanities and/or sciences, and presents her/his work at a colloquium at the Vossius Center, public lectures or/and research seminars. We encourage that the junior fellow’s work lead to a funding application.
• A Senior Fellow, in addition, establishes or consolidates a concrete collaboration with one or more members of the Vossius Center preferably leading to a joint project proposal.

Candidates should have a clear affinity with the history of humanities and/or sciences. Fellows are expected to participate in the activities of the Vossius Center whenever possible.
