Mobility Program

The objective of the PCD network, funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), is to strengthen the following institutions’ transnational cooperation in humanities research:

  1. Freie Universitaet Berlin (FUB)
  2. Harvard University, Mahindra Humanities Center
  3. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Faculty of Humanities
  4. The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Research Institute for the Humanities
  5. École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), Paris
  6. The Johns Hopkins University, Department of Comparative Thought and Literature

Enhanced cooperation is to be achieved by the network’s mobility initiative, which encompasses the following specific measures:

Global Humanities Junior Fellowship (4 to 6 months)

FUB hosts one Master student or PhD candidate from every partner institution, and one FUB Master student or PhD candidate is hosted by every partner institution per academic year. Scholars hosted by FUB are to have arrived by the time the network’s annual Global Humanities Campus is taking place in July.

Global Humanities Junior Research and Teaching Stay (3 to 5 months)

FUB hosts one postdoctoral scholar or assistant professor from every partner institution, and one FUB postdoctoral scholar or assistant professor is hosted by every partner institution per academic year. Scholars are to teach at the respective partner institution during their research stays and to participate in the Global Humanities Campus taking place in Berlin in summer. Scholars hosted by FUB may fulfill their teaching obligations at the summer school. The DAAD stipulates that the scholars’ research be related to the network’s theme of cultural dynamics, and that they will have established contact with scholars at the relevant partner institution at the point of application. Scholars hosted by FUB are to have arrived before the Global Humanities Campus takes place in Berlin in summer.

Global Humanities Senior Research and Teaching Stay (1 month)

Only during the first funding period (2013 - 2016)

FUB hosts one associate professor or full professor, and one FUB associate professor or full professor is dispatched to each partner institution per academic year. The scholar is expected to give lectures and teach a master class related to the network’s theme of cultural dynamics. Scholars hosted by FUB may teach their master class in the context of the summer school. Scholars may schedule their research stays at a time of their choosing.
