Society for Italian Historical Studies - SIHS Article Prize for Modern Italian History
The SIHS Article Prize for Modern Italian History will be awarded to the best English-language, peer-reviewed journal article made public (either in published form or on a “FirstView platform”) in the calendar year 2020 on Italian history broadly defined by an early career author. The time period for “modern” includes any time period from the Napoleonic Wars to today. Geographical scope and disciplinary methodology are defined in the broadest possible terms. Early career refers to anyone who is in the process of completing their PhD or anyone who was within six years of completion when the article was made public. Only members of the Society of Italian Historical Studies (SIHS) will be considered.
To apply, send a PDF version of the published or FirstView article, along with a one-page PDF version of your CV (indicating when your PhD was or will be completed) to the SIHS prize committee at SIHS.modern@gmail.com no later than June 1 of the current year. The prize consists of a $100 monetary reward, as well as a feature on the SIHS website including comments on why the article was selected and an interview with the author published on the SIHS website.
The award will be presented at the annual SIHS meeting at the American Historical Association in January 2022.
ANR ReLRace | Post-Doctoral Fellowship
The Postdoctoral Researcher is recruited to work more specifically in Axis 2 of the program. The requested profile is a specialist in the history of Islam, who should be familiar with Scriptural sources in Arabic.
In addition to an in-depth knowledge of the work already carried out in the framework of the ReLRace programme, the candidate will be assessed upon the following elements:
- He/she should show a thorough understanding of the genealogical patterns of peoples in the different Muslim traditions and their possible use for exclusion or relegation within the ummah.
- He/she should have a thorough knowledge of the applications of the notion of divine election in Islam, as well as its implications in the structuring of lineages.
- He/she should be able to identify and analyse the reciprocal influences between ‘raciology’ and Muslim traditions in structuring racial conceptions in Muslim worlds.
- He/she should be able to assess the views and possible relations between Sunni Islam and denominations claiming to be Islamic, especially among the African American population (Moorish Science Temple of America, Nation of Islam...) and around racial issues.
He/She may conduct his/her own work but will be expected to participate in the coordination of collective research particularly around the production of the collaborative and collective database of the programme.
