Description
The American Philosophical Association (APA) sponsors one visiting research fellowship each year at the University of Edinburgh’s Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH). The fellowship provides a private office, membership in the Institute’s research community, and full borrowing rights at Edinburgh University Library for a stay of two to six months. Research may address any area within the arts, humanities, and social sciences, with priority given to work aligned with the Institute’s research strands.
IASH promotes high-standard humanities inquiry and encourages interdepartmental and interdisciplinary study. Fellows have access to quiet research facilities, manuscripts and rare books, and Professor T. L. S. Sprigge’s philosophical library. Seminars, scholarly events, and contacts with university faculty support exchange within an active research community.
