Description
The Charles Wallace India Trust Fellowship, jointly funded by CRASSH and the Charles Wallace India Trust, provides a unique opportunity for early- and mid-career Indian scholars in the arts, heritage conservation, or humanities to spend nine weeks in residence at the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH), University of Cambridge. The fellowship aims to foster academic, artistic, and professional growth through access to Cambridge's multidisciplinary research environment, university resources, and opportunities for engagement with the CRASSH community.
