The Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at the University of Edinburgh offers Environmental Humanities Visiting Research Fellowships for mid-career and senior scholars. The programme supports outstanding interdisciplinary research, international scholarly collaboration, and networking through visits of two to four months.
A central priority is to further the work of the Edinburgh Environmental Humanities Network (EEHN). Fellows are expected to explore collaboration with its academic staff where possible, engage with the wider network, and participate actively in IASH’s interdisciplinary community. The programme encourages dialogue and collaboration during and beyond the visit, with fellows sharing their research at both IASH and an Environmental Humanities gathering.
