NYU?s Tamiment Library Frederic Ewen Academic Freedom Fellowship New York University ?s Tamiment Library is pleased to announce a new Frederic Ewen Academic Freedom fellowship for 2009-2010. This interdisciplinary program is designed to support post-doctoral scholars working on the history of academic freedom and its complex relationship to American politics, culture, and society. We are particularly interested in proposals that explore the ways in which fear and anxiety about enemies abroad and radical political movements at home have shaped the idea of academic freedom and the role of the university in American life. Scholars working on projects that explore the relationship between academic freedom and the larger struggles surrounding civil liberties, civil rights, gender relations, political repression, and resistance are encouraged to apply. The application deadline is February 15, 2009. In order to apply, please send the information listed below to Professor Marilyn Young and Dr. Michael Nash, Tamiment Library, New York University, 70 Washington Square South, New York, N.Y. 10012. 1.

Office space will be provided and fellows have a formal affiliation with New York University.
