The Laura Bassi Scholarship

The Laura Bassi Scholarship was established by Editing Press in 2018 with the aim of providing editorial assistance to postgraduates and junior academics whose research focuses on neglected topics of study, broadly construed, within their disciplines. The scholarships are open to every discipline and are awarded thrice per annum: December, April, and August. All currently enrolled master's and doctoral candidates are eligible to apply, as are academics in the first five years of their employment. There are no institutional, departmental, or national restrictions.

The UoM Anthropology Department Colloquium Series includes lectures, film screenings, brown bag discussions, and informal talks by scholars at the UofM and throughout the world. Events are held semiannually, or more frequently when opportunity allows. This Spring we are pleased to announce that Dr. Carwil Bjork-James from Vanderbilt University will be visiting April 16-18, with his main lecture in the afternoon of Friday the 17th. We will post more details as the time approaches.

Dr. Bjork-James is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Vanderbilt, where his work focuses on Social Movements, Indigenous Rights, and Political Anthropology.
