POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE

THE INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, THE HUMAN RIGHTS CENTER, AND THE 
DOREEN B. TOWNSEND CENTER FOR THE HUMANITIES

wish to invite applications for post-doctoral fellowships from individuals 
engaged in research and writing on the question of:  COMMUNITIES IN CRISIS: 
JUSTICE, TOLERANCE, AND RECONSTRUCTION.

During the academic year 2000-2001, with funding from the Rockefeller 
Foundation, Berkeley will begin the first year of a three-year project on 
the theme of "COMMUNITY IN CONTENTION." The project intends to explore the 
meanings, uses, and prospects for the idea of community in its social, 
political, and cultural expressions at the end of the twentieth century. 
Future themes include communities in exile, community and democracy, and 
community governance.

For the forthcoming year (2000-2001) the project will focus on communities 
in various forms of crisis (genocide, civil war, economic breakdown, 
"natural" disasters) and how questions of accountability, identity, 
tolerance, and reconstruction are represented and addressed in light of 
these crises.

Applications are welcome from the social sciences, humanities, and legal, 
health, and human rights fields. Regional, comparative, and 
interdisciplinary interests are especially welcome.

In addition to their individual writing and research, fellows will 
participate in seminars, conferences, and other activities relevant to the 
overall themes of the project.

Applicants need not be U.S. citizens. For further information about the 
program, see the Institute of International Studies website:
