I Tatti and the German Historical Institute in Rome offer a joint residential fellowship for the 2021–2022 academic year. With this fellowship, I Tatti and the DHI Rom seek to stimulate and support increased scholarship on cultural exchange with and within the African continent during the period c. 1250-1750 by creating and promoting opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration, particularly between scholars from African regions and those working in European and North American institutions. The fellowship offers post-doctoral scholars working on African studies (or topics that closely consider Africa) a ten-month position to conduct historical research in Italy supported by two institutes with dynamic academic communities.
Fellows will spend five months (September 1, 2021 – January 30, 2022) in Rome at the DHI and five months (February 1 – June 30, 2022) in Florence at I Tatti. The DHI stipend is Euro 2,500 per month, plus a monthly supplement of Euro 1,000 to offset rental costs. The I Tatti stipend is USD 4,200 per month, plus a one-time supplement (maximum USD 1,500) towards relocation expenses.
