We are thrilled to announce the launch of the latest round of the Global Professorships. This programme provides established researchers in the humanities and social sciences from anywhere in the world the chance to undertake high-risk, curiosity-driven research in UK institutions. Each award, valued at up to £900,000, supports new, cutting-edge projects, to last over four years. This scheme is a fabulous opportunity to transform the research environment of your institution and in recent years, some world-class scholars have been able to develop their own research in exciting ways in the UK and in some cases, make a lasting career here. The deadline for applications is 17:00 BST on 23 October 2024. We are also excited to announce our Visiting Fellowships. This programme provides researchers in the humanities and social sciences from any country overseas and at any career stage the opportunity to be based at a UK institution for three to six months. Each award is for up to £40,000. The application deadline for this very popular scheme is 17:00 BST on 23 October 2024. We have launched the ODA (Official Development Assistance) Global Innovation Fellowships, supported by the UK government’s International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF).

This is an opportunity for scholars with an interest in policy to work in major policy units. The deadline for applications is 6 November at 17:00 GMT. A webinar for interested applicants and partner organisations will be held on 9 July from 14:00-15:00 BST.

Journal of the British Academy relaunchThe Journal of the British Academy has been relaunched on a new platform, with a new look and new types of content, as an improved showcase for the world-class work that arises from the Academy’s own programmes and activities – including many articles with an international focus. The Journal’s aims are ‘connecting knowledge, deepening inquiry, and pushing boundaries’, with a particular focus on innovative interdisciplinary methods, perspectives and approaches. The double-issue published in May includes a multimedia article by Dr Piotr Cieplak on documentary films from Rwanda and Argentina, a themed collection of pieces on ‘African ecologies’ and a conversation between Professor Charles Tripp FBA and Professor Nandini Das on her book, Courting India: England, Mughal India and the Origins of Empire (Bloomsbury, 2023). Those who have been supported through the Academy’s programmes and activities and who are interested in contributing to the Journal (or submitting a proposal for a themed issue to be published at the end of 2025) should contact journal@thebritishacademy.ac. |
