CHR Postdoctoral, PhD, MA and Honours Fellowships at University of the Western Cape in South Africa, 2019

Fellowship competition for the year 2019 is now available at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa, 2019. These fellowships are available for Postdoctoral, PhD, MA and Honours awards.

This new research project aims at establishing an interdisciplinary research group focussed specifically on the meaning of free and equal citizenship in a united and diverse society forming under conditions of seismic constitutional, revolutionary and technological change.

In a rapidly shifting social context of a post-apartheid society, the study of the humanities offers creative possibilities for dealing with the challenges of globalisation, rapid technological change, and the legacies of colonialism and apartheid. To this end, the Centre for Humanities Research (CHR) at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) is unique in developing partnerships across and between institutions, particularly universities, schools, public arts projects, museums, archives and art galleries, and nurturing future generations of humanities graduates, educators and cultural practitioners.
