Description
The fellowship is jointly funded by the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge and the Charles Wallace India Trust (CWIT). It supports one term—nine weeks—of study and residence in Cambridge during the academic year. The scheme enables Indian scholars working or studying in the arts, heritage conservation or humanities to advance their artistic, academic or professional ambitions through time in the United Kingdom.
Fellows pursue a research project within CRASSH’s multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary environment, with opportunities for regular, informal interaction with visiting fellows, staff and scholars. Participation in the Centre’s activities is integral to the fellowship, including contributions to its weekly Research Practice seminars. Fellows may also choose to present their research during their stay.
