PresentationThe&#160;Fung Global Fellows Program, inaugurated in the 2013-14 academic year, reflects&#160;Princeton University&#8217;s commitment to engaging with scholars from around the world and inspiring ideas that transcend borders. The program brings exceptional international early-career faculty members working in the social sciences and the humanities to Princeton for a year of research, writing, and collaboration.&#160; It is administered by the&#160;Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS), which serves as a site for integration and joint activity across all of the University's international and area studies programs.Each year, the Fung Global Fellows Program selects six international scholars to be in residence at Princeton for one academic year and to engage in research and discussion around a common theme. The program includes a public seminar series where the fellows will present their work to the university community. Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application process to scholars employed outside the United States who have demonstrated outstanding scholarly achievement, exhibit unusual intellectual promise, and are still early in their careers.This program is supported by a gift from William Fung, group chairman of Li &#38; Fung, a Hong Kong-based multinational group of export and retailing companies.http://www.princeton.edu/funggfp/index.xmlPrinceton University is pleased to announce the call for applications to the&#160;Fung Global Fellows Program at the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS). Each year the program selects six scholars from around the world to be in residence at Princeton for an academic year and to engage in research and discussion around a common theme.&#160;Fellowships are awarded to scholars employed outside the United States who are expected to return to their positions, who have demonstrated outstanding scholarly achievement and exhibit unusual intellectual promise, but who are still early in their careers.During the academic year 2017/18, the program theme will be&#160;&#8220;The Culture and Politics of Resentment.&#8221;&#160;Resentment is a powerful emotion for expressing culture and politics. Experiences and memories of humiliation, oppression, and marginalization have stimulated emotions of resentment, and produced compelling demands for political inclusion and justice around the world. Alternatively, rage against what is seen as the &#8220;tyranny of the minority,&#8221; inequality, the corruption and aloofness of elites, the &#8220;foreign,&#8221; and the illegitimate have generated powerful populist upsurges against the perceived enemies of a homogeneous body of &#8220;the people.&#8221;The goal of the 2017-18 Fung Global Fellows cohort will be to explore the full range of phenomena involved in the culture and politics of resentment, the conditions that produce such sentiments, and the projects they advance.&#160;We invite applications from scholars whose work addresses this topic in any historical period or region of the world and from any disciplinary background in the humanities and social sciences.Applications are due on&#160;November 1, 2016.
