Children Negotiating the Everyday in the Geography of Violence

Department of Anthropology, Johns Hopkins University

Six Research Fellows

A Project under the Rockefeller Foundation Resident Fellowships in the 
Humanities and Study of Culture Program, at Johns Hopkins University

The Child on the Wing is a project of the Department of Anthropology at the 
Johns Hopkins University, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation Resident 
Fellowships in the Humanities and the Study of Culture Program. The project 
focuses on the mobile trajectories of children's lives under conditions of 
ongoing political violence and economic uncertainty.

There will be a workshop in October of the Fall Semester of the academic 
year 2006-2007 in which we shall discuss the moral creativity of children 
through such practices as storytelling, artistic creation and the creation 
of self through engagement with the social institutions in their local 
worlds.

Abstracts of 250 words are invited along with the a CV and a writing sample 
from applicants to take up fellowships for a one-week residence at Johns 
Hopkins University that will culminate in the workshop described above. 
There will be intensive dialogue and discussions during that week.

Applicants should be at least three years beyond receipt of the PhD or have 
three years of experience with NGOs or policy making. The fellowship 
includes support for travel and accommodation.

Application deadline: February 15 2006
