Bourses d’écriture Université de Toronto 2016-2017

Fellowship in Ethnographic Writing, 2016-17 The Centre for Ethnography (CE) at the University of Toronto at Scarborough (UTSC) is accepting applications for their annual Fellowship in Ethnographic Writing. Writing is a key component of the work of an anthropologist, but it takes time and benefits from some distance from the fieldwork itself, and from other obligations. In recognition of this fact the CE introduced a Fellowship in Ethnographic Writing in 2010. We are now seeking applications for either Fall or Winter Term of 2016-7, to be held at UTSC. The recipient of this award is expected to devote their time fully to writing and may not teach or hold any other form of employment during the tenure of the award. They are expected to attend all talks and colloquia at the CE, to work several days a week on campus at UTSC, and to contribute a presentation of their work in progress to the colloquia. In addition, the Fellow will be available to coach students completing an undergraduate writing assignment, in tandem with a professor teaching a core anthropology course. This work will be limited to 5 hours in total. Applicants should supply a statement of no more than 5 double-spaced pages describing their writing project, indicating the stage that it is at, and precisely what they wish to accomplish during the duration of the Fellowship. Explicit attention to questions of genre, narrative, and audience are welcome but not essential. Successful applicants will either be at the post-doctoral stage (engaged in transforming a thesis into a book or articles) or in the final stages of completing the doctoral thesis. All applicants must have completed their doctoral fieldwork and have already submitted significant portions of their dissertation to their committee. The current stipend is set at $10,000 for a period of ten weeks. The closing date for this competition is March 15, 2016. Please send all applications, as well as the names of two referees, electronically to the Centre for Ethnography at [->centreforethnography@utsc.utoronto.ca]. – Référence: [->http://anthropology.utoronto.ca/fellowship-in-ethnographic-writing-2016-17]
