Application Deadline: October 7, 2022
From January 16 – 20, 2023, Harvard Law School’s IGLP will collaborate with Stellenbosch University to convene the Global Scholars Academy in Stellenbosch, South Africa.
The Global Scholars Academy is an intensive residential experience designed to enable junior faculty and post-doctoral scholars to engage in sustained, interdisciplinary, peer-to-peer collaboration under the close mentorship of research faculty drawn from the world’s top universities. The Academy is open by application to junior scholars working to understand and map the levers of political, economic, and legal authority in the world today. We particularly welcome applications from scholars from the Global South and those working on policy challenges of particular concern to communities in the Global South.
Building on the IGLP’s decade of successful workshops and Stellenbosch’s dedication to high-level interdisciplinary research, the Global Scholars Academy will engage a growing community of scholars developing new thinking about the world’s most pressing policy challenges. While in residence, participants will workshop their ongoing research, review current scholarship developments, reconsider canonical texts, and network with colleagues from across the world.
The Format
The 2023 Academy will offer a unique interdisciplinary curriculum and will include thematic minicourses, plenary lectures, and writing workshops. Writing workshops will offer participants the opportunity to receive detailed, valuable feedback on their research from their peers and senior colleagues in small group settings.
Application Procedure:
- Preference will be given to scholars who hold postdoctoral junior faculty positions.
- Students completing their doctoral work are also encouraged to apply.
- All accepted participants will be expected to submit an 8000-word piece, draft, or work in progress of academic writing in advance of the Academy to be discussed with colleagues in the intensive Writing Workshops.
