Overview
The Humanities Research Centre was established in 1972 as a national and international centre for excellence in the Humanities and a catalyst for innovative Humanities scholarship and research within the Australian National University. The HRC interprets the "Humanities" generously, recognising that new methods of theoretical enquiry have done much to break down the traditional distinction between the humanities and the interpretive social sciences; recognising, too, the importance of establishing dialogue between the humanities and the natural and technological sciences, and the creative arts. The Centre encourages interdisciplinary and comparative work, and seeks to take a provocative as well as supportive role in relation to existing humanities studies in Australia. It aims to give special attention to topics and disciplines which stand in need of particular stimulus in Australia. One of its central functions is to bring to Australia scholars of international standing who will provoke fresh ideas within, and beyond, the academic community. The HRC also has extensive contacts with many other Australian and international research centres, libraries and other cultural institutions, and is a member of the Consortium of Humanities Centers & Institutes (CHCI), Duke University.
The Humanities Research Centre is part of the RSHA, in the College of Arts and Social Sciences. Its Visiting Fellowship program will provide funding (travel to Canberra and accommodation for up to 12 weeks) to support scholars to work within the larger Research School environment. Our nominated theme for 2012 is Ecological Enlightenment.
The HRC offers the following:
• Visiting Fellowships (with grant). The standard period of tenure for an HRC Visiting Fellowships is twelve weeks. The grant covers travel and accommodation. The maximum contribution for travel is $3,000 AUD. Accommodation is in a one bedroom self-contained apartment on the university campus. This financial assistance for travel and accommodation expenses is not a salary replacement. No stipend for living allowance is attached to this fellowship. Visitors are expected to vacate their residence if they are away for 7 days or more during their fellowships.
• Visiting Fellowships (with partial grant). These are intended for scholars within Australia and New Zealand who wish to undertake research at the HRC. These grants are to assist with travel expenses.
• Visiting Fellow (without grant). Academic staff from the Australian National University, other universities and cultural institutions may apply to use the facilities at the HRC and contribute to its intellectual life during their periods of research leave (e.g. sabbatical). These awards do not provide financial assistance, and are dependent on the availability of office space in the Centre.
• Visiting Fellow Freilich Foundation (with grant). The standard period of tenure for Freilich Visiting Fellowships is twelve weeks. The grant covers travel and accommodation. The maximum contribution for travel is $3,000 AUD. Accommodation is in a one bedroom self contained apartment on the university campus. This financial assistance for travel and accommodation expenses is not a salary replacement. No stipend for living allowance is attached to this fellowship.
