Visiting Fellowships: "Natural Resources as Objects of Conflict"
The Institute for European Global Studies of the University of Basel welcomes applications for visiting fellowships (3 months) between September and December 2024. The closing date for applications is 31 January 2024.
The call for applications is situated in the context of the Katekisama exchange program of the universities of Basel (Switzerland), Bonn (Germany) and the University of Ghana, which is designed to establish new academic mobility and exchange in teaching and research.
The program explores post-interdisciplinary ways of thinking and recognizes the synergetic strength of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) by moving beyond the discussions of disciplinarity vs. interdisciplinarity. It aims to intensify global academic networking and mobility by systematically introducing new forms of exchange, digital connectivity and inter-university collaboration. The thematic focus of the call for applications on “Natural Resources as Objects of Conflict” addresses the rising competition over (and weaponization of) natural resources in the context of escalating dependencies and increasingly integrated global supply webs.
The fellows staying at the Europainstitut / Institute for European Global Studies of the University of Basel will benefit from the excellent academic conditions and exchange with international colleagues at Switzerland’s oldest university.
The closing date for applications is 31 January 2024.
