Visiting Scholar from Russia
to the University of Chicago
starting 2010

Thanks to generous funding from the Mellon Foundation and Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation, the University of Chicago is planning to bring one Visiting Scholar in the humanities from Russia and one from Central Europe (Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, or the Baltic States) for a residency in winter and spring quarters in 2010 and in the following years. During their residency, these Visiting Scholars will teach one course in the Humanities Core. They will also participate in an orientation and a capstone conference at the University of Chicago Center in Paris. Candidates should currently hold academic positions of junior rank in their home countries and be future leaders in their field of the humanities.
