IU Bloomington to host nonresidential scholars from Ukraine
A new agreement will support up to 20 humanities and social sciences scholars who are in or from Ukraine for one-year, nonresidential fellowships at Indiana University Bloomington, Provost Rahul Shrivastav has announced. The IU Robert F. Byrnes Russian and East European Institute will administer the new IU-Ukraine Non-Resident Scholars Program. The agreement is one of IU’s responses to the Russian Federation’s unprovoked military assault on Ukraine, which has left around 7.1 million Ukrainians internally displaced. Nearly 6.8 million have fled as refugees.
Founded in 1958 as IU’s first area studies program, the Russian and East European Institute is a hub for innovation in scholarship and new ways of thinking about this dynamic region. The institute is a Title VI National Resource Center and Foreign Language and Area Studies program with more than 90 affiliated faculty in schools and departments across the IU Bloomington campus, including College of Arts and Sciences faculty in anthropology, second language studies, and Slavic and East European languages and cultures; faculty in the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs; and others who specialize in the study of Ukraine.
Scholars in and from Ukraine who are currently enrolled in a postgraduate program, or hold a Kandidat, Doctorate, or Ph.D. in any discipline within the social sciences and humanities, are eligible for this program. Proficiency in English is a plus but not a requirement for eligibility.
The application is now available in both English and Ukrainian, and the deadline to complete is Aug. 1, 2022. Successful applicants will receive a $5,000 grant to support their research, writing and/or teaching, and will have a one-year appointment as visiting scholars with an IU computing account, including access to the digital resources and virtual borrowing privileges of IU Libraries, Media Collections Online, Kanopy and IU ScholarWorks.
