We are inviting applications for our “Scholars-in-Residence” program for the Fall 2024, with a possibility of renewal in the Winter 2025.
This program is designed to bring together oral history practitioners, artists, and creative storytellers by offering them both a calm workspace and an opportunity to engage and socialize with other COHDS affiliates.
Each Scholar-in-Residence will be provided with a workstation, including a state-of-the-art computer in our COHDS lab as well as a locker for books and personal belongings. Scholars-in-Residence will be able to book our centre’s main meeting room (the “Sunroom”) for occasional writing retreats. We are pleased to provide access to a large meeting/lunch table and kitchen facilities (fridge, microwave, and kettle).
Scholars-in-Residence will be asked to participate in two potluck lunches each term to discuss their work in a convivial and informal atmosphere. They are invited to join our intellectually vibrant community by becoming involved (as an attendee, participant, facilitator, or organizer) in our programming.
If you are a COHDS affiliate and interested in pursuing your work in a collaborative working environment, please submit your application to Barbara.Lorenzkowski@concordia.ca by Thursday, September 5. Your application should consist of a cover letter, describing your research and reflecting on your interest in becoming a Scholar-in-Residence, as well as a CV.
