Description
This Fulbright Scholar Program award supports scholars conducting Mediterranean-related research at Iméra, the Institute for Advanced Study of Aix Marseille University in Marseille, France. Scholars pursue projects of their choosing and collaborate with local researchers. All disciplines are welcome, with particular appreciation for interdisciplinarity, originality, strong collaboration potential, and connections to Iméra’s research priorities.
Iméra’s Mediterranean programme examines cultures and societies from Antiquity to the present through global, comparative, and interdisciplinary approaches. Its research axes include oceanic spaces, littoral communities, cultural exchanges, belief systems, and maritime conflicts. Residents join an interdisciplinary scientific community with access to Marseille’s extensive archival resources. The exchange also advances Fulbright’s goal of strengthening relationships between people in the United States and other countries through international understanding and cooperation.
