Hartley Library- one of the many university facilities
The Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish/non-Jewish Relations at the University of Southampton is delighted to offer a visiting fellowship scheme which welcomes scholars from overseas to study with us for one to two months.
Fellows will be based in Southampton and are expected to attend Parkes events (such as the Tuesday evening research seminars and Wednesday afternoon doctoral seminars) and to participate in the intellectual life of the Institute. Fellows will be asked either to deliver a seminar paper or to present their work to students in the form of a teaching session or master class.
