This book examines the lasting impact of war on individuals and their communities in pre-modern Europe. Research on combat stress in the modern era regularly draws upon the past for inspiration and validation, but to date no single volume has effectively scrutinised the universal nature of combat stress and its associated modern diagnoses. Highlighting the methodological obstacles of using modern medical and psychological models to understand pre-modern experiences, this book challenges existing studies and presents innovative new directions for future research. With cutting-edge contributions from experts in history, classics and medical humanities, the collection has a broad chronological focus, covering periods from Archaic Greece (c. sixth and early fifth century BCE) to the British Civil Wars (seventeenth century CE). Topics range from the methodological, such as the dangers of retrospective diagnosis and the applicability of Moral Injury to the past, to the conventionally historical, examining how combat stress and post-traumatic stress disorder may or may not have manifested in different time periods. With chapters focusing on combatants, women, children and the collective trauma of their communities, this collection will be of great interest to those researching the history of mental health in the pre-modern period.

CHIMED-3. The third International Conference on Historical Medical Discourse


Call for Papers


The conference series was initiated in Milan in 2017 and focuses on multidisciplinary research into European historical medical discourse. We welcome studies drawing from linguistics, literary studies and history – among others – to present a comprehensive and well-rounded view of medical discourse in Europe. The third conference focuses on medical discourse in English in the period 1500–1900. Studies may be either synchronic or diachronic, and a long view may stretch even beyond the main frame of time. In accordance with the multidisciplinary aims of the conference series, we encourage papers that approach medical discourse from different methodological and disciplinary perspectives. The language of the conference is English.


We invite submissions for presentations of 30 minutes (20 min. + 10 min. discussion). Abstracts of no more than 500 words (excluding references) should be submitted via email to a.mcenery@lancaster.ac.uk with the subject line ‘Chimed-3’. Abstract submissions are due by Monday 16th January 2023. All abstracts will be reviewed by an international scientific committee.

Possible topics of papers include the following:

• medical discourses in their sociohistorical contexts
• discourses on specific illnesses or treatments
• representations of illnesses in literary fiction
• changes in the medical marketplace
• communication on medical issues for different audiences
• styles and metaphors in medical discourse
• narratives in medical discourse
• appropriation of earlier medical ideas and topics
• developments in genres and text types (both literary and non-literary)
• vernacularization of medical and scientific texts: English, Latin and other languages
• gender and medicine

Outcomes will be communicated by Monday 30th January 2023.

La déviance en Italie

La devianza in Italia dall’Unità al fascismo. Discorsi e rappresentazioni

Devianze, anormali, marginalità, controllo e bonifica sociale. Tutti termini tornati recentemente al centro del dibattito pubblico, perlopiù in termini ambigui e strumentali. Ma di cosa si tratta quando si parla di devianza? Quali discorsi ne presiedono la definizione in un certo contesto storico? E chi sono i devianti? Muovendo da tali interrogativi, il progetto di ricerca triennale del Cesdem – Centro Studi per la Storia della devianza e della marginalità, promosso dall’Istituto storico della Resistenza “Dante Livio Bianco” Cuneo, ha cercato di porre sotto esame una categoria problematica, strettamente connessa a logiche di controllo e marginalizzazione sociale espressione di tensioni storiche molteplici, individuabili a partire da analisi specifiche. Nello specifico, le ricerche che costituiscono il presente volume, affrontando figure e temi diversi, nell’arco di tempo compreso tra l’Unità e il fascismo, evidenziano il ruolo svolto dal contesto politico e culturale. E, in linea con i risultati della storiografia degli ultimi decenni, la complessità di un ambito articolato e sfuggente.

Material Cultures of the NHS Hospital will explore the multiple ways in which NHS hospitals (1948-present) have been shaped by objects. Using objects held at the Science Museum Group provides an opportunity for the PGR to engage closely with material culture. They will go beyond images, and a visual idea of hospitals, to explore how historic objects felt, smelled, and sounded. The PGR will take an object (or object type) as the centre of their research, and explore it at different scales, including changes to: its materiality and design, how people interacted with or experienced it, and its place in hospital spaces or built environments.

Les troubles mentaux parmi les combattants africains

Questioning the trauma. Mental disorders among African fighters (20th – 21st centuries)

Call for papers / Appel à communications

Panel ECAS / 31 May – 3 June 2023

To send a proposal: https://nomadit.co.uk/conference/ecas2023/p/12575

This panel aims to question the notion of “war trauma” by confronting it with the contrasting
experiences of African fighters (men and women) during the 20th and 21st centuries. It will
discuss the plurality of experiences and psychological manifestations, modes of care and forms
of recognition in contemporary African societies.
Few research works have focused on mental disorders among African fighters, whether they
were contracted during world conflicts, wars of decolonization, “civil wars” or even terrorist
actions throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Nevertheless, these plural contexts offer a
variation of situations that invite us to study mental disorders related to war and combat
experiences through different perspectives.
This panel would like to adopt an approach going beyond the normative framework defined by
historical works focused on major European conflicts and medical care of “war traumas”. It
aims to bring together researches on: experiences of mental disorders by African fighters (men
and women); mental care delivered by medical and military institutions, but also by families,
healers and religious institutions; the moral and sociopolitical (non-)recognition of these
experiences, and its consequences on fighters, their psyche and transmission of their memories.
Although this panel is positioned in the historical field, approaches from all social sciences are
welcome and multidisciplinary analyses on the research materials are particularly awaited.
Interventions may concern fighters from all the African continent and its islands, regardless of
the conflict zones adressed.

Questionner le trauma. Troubles psychiques de combattants africains (20e-21e siècles)
Ce panel souhaite réfléchir à la notion de « trauma de guerre » en la confrontant aux
expériences extrêmement contrastées de combattant.e.s africain.e.s au cours des XXème et
XXIème siècles. Il discutera de la pluralité des vécus et des manifestations psychiques, des
modes de prise en charge et des formes de reconnaissance dans les sociétés africaines
contemporaines.
Les troubles psychiques de combattant.e.s africains, qu’ils soient liés à la participation aux
conflits mondiaux, aux guerres de décolonisation, aux guerres dites civiles, ou encore aux
phénomènes terroristes tout au long des XXe et XXIe siècles, ont fait l’objet de peu de
recherches. Ces contextes pluriels offrent pourtant une déclinaison de situations qui permettent
d’envisager les troubles liés aux expériences du monde combattant de bien des manières.
Ce panel souhaite promouvoir une approche qui permettrait de sortir du cadre normatif issu en
partie des travaux sur les grands conflits européens et visant la prise en charge des
« traumatismes de guerre » par les institutions militaires et/ou médicales. Il s’agit dans cette
perspective de faire dialoguer des recherches portant sur : l’expérience et le vécu des troubles
mentaux par celles et ceux qui en sont atteints ; leur prise en charge dans des sphères non
seulement médicales ou institutionnelles, mais aussi familiales, religieuses, vernaculaires ; la
(non-)reconnaissance de ce vécu au niveau moral et sociopolitique et les conséquences qu’elle
entraîne sur le sujet, son état psychique et la transmission de son expérience.
Si les travaux à l’origine de ce panel se situent dans la discipline historique, les approches issues
de toutes les sciences sociales sont bienvenues et les réflexions pluridisciplinaires sur les
matériaux mobilisés sont particulièrement attendues. Les interventions pourront concerner les
combattant.e.s issu.e.s de l’ensemble du continent et de ses îles, quelles que soient les zones de
conflits.

Les pouls chez Galien

Galen on the Pulses: Four Short Treatises and Four Long Treatises
 

Ian Johnston, Niki Papavramidou

Publisher ‏ : ‎ De Gruyter (November 14, 2022)
Language ‏ : ‎ English
Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 573 pages
ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-3110611618

The arterial pulse was a major aspect of all three major medical traditions - Western, Chinese and Indian. Galen's extant works are the only significant account of Western views surviving from ancient times. Not only does he set out his own views in great detail but he also gives a large amount of information on the views of others whose writings are lost. In the translated treatises in the present work, Galen deals with basic anatomy and physiology, classification of the types of pulses, diagnosis of and from the pulses, causal factors of clinical relevance and the very important matter of the prognostic value of the pulses. This is the first translation into a modern Western language of Galen's very substantial body of work on this subject.

La modernité et l'intestin

Modernity and the Gut


Call for Papers



Keynote speaker
Professor Jean Walton, University of Rhode Island

Glasgow

27-28 April 2023

Concerns about gastric disorders have been around for centuries, but anxiety surrounding the gut intensified with the development of modernity. The rise of sedentary living and industrialised food processes deepened the chasm between what was perceived as a healthy gut and the status of people’s digestive systems. Often viewed as out of time with the frantic pace of urban working life, the gut has been characterised as a victim of modernity and yet the processes associated with it —consumption, absorption, disassembly, and waste— were closely allied to the project of modernism. Today’s scientists also note that the lifestyle changes caused by the agricultural and industrial revolutions have profoundly altered the ecological relationships and disease patterns of populations, notably the diversity of our gut bacteria. In this conference we explore the relationship between the digestive system and modernity including dedicated sessions on the gut and literary modernism.

We invite papers of 15-20 minutes by speakers from any discipline (including history, literary studies, philosophy, art history, sociology, psychology, anthropology, geography, microbiology, biochemistry, immunology, bacteriology)

• Please send an abstract of around 200 words to elsa.richardson@strath.ac.uk by 16 January 2023. Abstracts should be framed with a view to addressing an audience made up of both specialists and non-specialists and should include the proposer’s contact details (email).
• We also encourage proposals for complete panels (of 3 or 4 speakers). These should include the names and e-mail addresses of all speakers, and those of the proposed session chair. As well as an abstract for each speaker, proposals should contain a brief outline of the rationale and motivation of the proposed panel. One individual involved should be clearly designated as the proposer with overall responsibility for the proposed session.
• We are also keen to encourage other formats which might include (but are not limited to): pre-circulated materials, performance or creative practices, project-based sessions, lightning talks, non-academic partnerships.


Possible themes
• Modern temporalities and the gut
• Early understandings of gut microbes
• Changing understandings of space and the gut
• Modern science and new understandings of the gut itself
• Modernist writing and the digestive system
• Changing concepts of emotions and the relationship with the gut
• Human-animal relations
• Circadian rhythms and the digestive system
• Gut disorders and sleep deprivation
• Gut conditions as a disease of civilization
• Gut health and media


We especially invite applications from postgraduate students and there will be some funding available for PGR travel from within the UK. Please note: this will be an in person conference.

La Première Guerre mondiale et la fabrique transnationale de la réhabilitation

Bodies of Work: The First World War and the Transnational Making of Rehabilitation  

Julie M. Powell

 
Publisher ‏ : ‎ Cambridge University Press; New edition (October 27, 2022)
Language ‏ : ‎ English
Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 280 pages
ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1009230285

Bodies of Work examines the transnational development of large-scale national systems, international organizations, technologies, and cultural material aimed at rehabilitating Allied ex-servicemen, disabled in the First World War. When nations mobilised in August 1914, it was thought that casualties would be minimal and the war would be quickly over. Little consideration was given to what ought to be done for those men whose bodies would forever bear the marks of war's destruction. Julie M. Powell charts how rehabilitation emerged as the best means to deal with millions of disabled ex-servicemen. She considers the ways in which rehabilitation was shaped by both durable and discrete influences, including social reformism, paternalist philanthropy, the movement for workers' rights, patriotism, class tensions, cultural ideas about manliness and disability, nationalism, and internationalism. Powell sheds light on the ways in which rehabilitation systems became sites for the contestation and maintenance of boundaries of belonging.

Construire une histoire du handicap et de la surdité à travers les siècles

Construire une histoire du handicap et de la surdité à travers les siècles 
 

Séminaire


Intervenant·e·s Fabrice Bertin [référent·e] professeur certifié, EHESS / Centre d'étude des mouvements sociaux (CEMS)
Ninon Dubourg contrat postdoctoral, FRS-FNRS
Gildas Brégain chargé de recherche, CNRS


Le séminaire « Construire une histoire du handicap et de la surdité à travers les siècles » a été mis en place dès 2021 à partir d’un constat : alors que les synthèses sur l’histoire du handicap et de la surdité à toutes les époques historiques se multiplient actuellement dans la littérature anglo-saxonne, aucun ouvrage collectif recouvrant ces deux champs d’étude n’a été publié dans la sphère francophone depuis le début des années 2000.

Les tentatives pour rassembler la communauté scientifique s’intéressant à l’histoire du handicap et de la surdité de l’espace francophone n’ont pas pu aboutir et les réseaux existants se structurent plutôt autour de thématiques particulières (cécité, surdité) ou se limitent à une période historique (comme le XXe siècle).

Par exemple, l’histoire du handicap et celle de la surdité à l’époque contemporaine ont pris des chemins divergents. Du côté de la surdité, l’historiographie a fondé ses approches sur une conception socio-anthropologique des sourds et de la langue des signes en laissant le concept de surdité rivé à une histoire médicale de la déficience ou tout au moins, à une histoire de catégories technico-institutionnelles et à sa critique. Du côté de l’histoire du handicap, une partie de la recherche s’est centrée sur l’histoire institutionnelle du handicap et sur les politiques publiques de sa prise en charge. La Deaf History et la Disability History, ont construit ainsi leurs propres réseaux scientifiques internationaux et leurs propres épistémologies avec une certaine distanciation, voire parfois de manière hermétique. Si les histoires du handicap et de la surdité s’entremêlent au cours de l’époque contemporaine (l’origine de l’éducation des sourds et des aveugles remonte au XVIIIe siècle, les sourds luttent d’ailleurs aux côtés des aveugles pour conquérir le droit à une éducation gratuite, laïque et obligatoire au cours des années 1930), les historiographies de l’une comme de l’autre ne se croisent que rarement.

Ce séminaire mensuel a pour objectif de remédier à ces états de fait, en faisant converger des historien·e·s qui, depuis les vingt dernières années, renouvellent les deux champs de recherche par des approches, des méthodes et des objets nouveaux.

Concernant la période médiévale, par exemple, la plupart des ouvrages publiés jusqu’à présent sont soit des études approfondies centrées sur des cas particuliers, soit des propos assez généraux sur la société étudiée. De plus, les thématiques centrales divergent selon les époques : les chercheurs intéressé·e·s par les époques médiévale et moderne prêtent un intérêt considérable au poids de la religion, ce qui n’est pas le cas pour l’époque contemporaine. La littérature historique sur la période contemporaine a évolué d’un intérêt pour les politiques publiques, l’action des institutions éducatives, celle des associations ou la trajectoire biographique ou l’action des grands personnages historiques (médecins, éducateurs), vers des approches transnationales ou davantage biographiques, ou vers des approches plus intersectorielles, prenant en compte le genre ou la race. Dans le paradigme intersectionnel, le « handicap » ne constitue que l’une des multiples caractéristiques identitaires de l’individu. Seuls quelques travaux historiques ont pour l’instant pris en compte ce mode de pensée interdisciplinaire.

Nous souhaitons poursuivre et formaliser l’élan de l’année universitaire précédente, afin de contribuer à la fois à la diffusion des travaux récents ou en cours ; à la formation des jeunes chercheurs ; ainsi qu’à la structuration d’un réseau francophone de recherche sur l’histoire du handicap et de la surdité toutes périodes historiques confondues.

La constitution d’un réseau francophone est d’autant plus urgente que le champ disciplinaire de l’histoire du handicap et de la surdité connaît actuellement un renouvellement considérable des méthodes et des approches scientifiques. Pendant de nombreuses années, le handicap a été considéré sous l’angle de l’histoire sociale de la marginalité, de la pauvreté et de la déviance. Dans les années 2000, les chercheurs ont clairement admis que la signification et donc l’expérience du handicap changeaient au fil du temps dans une culture donnée et entre cultures différentes. La littérature sur le handicap s’est rapidement développée après 2005, en s’appuyant sur une approche qui présente le handicap comme un phénomène socioculturel. Dans ces ouvrages, le handicap est mis en contraste avec la normativité au niveau conceptuel : il est conçu comme ce qui s’écarte des « normes » culturellement constituées à un moment donné. En tant qu’histoire culturelle, l’histoire du handicap et de la surdité doit prendre en compte les continuités et les changements passés, en cultivant une vision à long terme entre les époques préhistoriques et contemporaines, révélant les significations plurielles du handicap et de la surdité à travers les siècles. Elle aurait avantage à considérer également les significations du handicap et de la surdité des territoires non occidentaux, afin de mieux cerner la manière dont les nombreuses vagues de migrations ont interprété le handicap et la surdité. Cette approche culturelle permet aussi de mettre en lumière la participation individuelle et collective des personnes aux rituels sociaux à différentes époques, une participation qui peut aussi être éclairée par des disciplines comme l’archéologie, rarement mobilisées.

Maladie, douleur et soins de santé dans le christianisme primitif

Illness, Pain, and Health Care in Early Christianity
 

Helen Rhee 

Publisher ‏ : ‎ Eerdmans (October 22, 2022)
Language ‏ : ‎ English
Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 367 pages
ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0802876846
ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0802876843

In this wide-ranging interdisciplinary study, Helen Rhee examines how early Christians viewed illness, pain, and health care and how their perspective was influenced both by Judeo-Christian tradition and by the milieu of the larger ancient world. Throughout her analysis, Rhee places the history of medicine, Greco-Roman literature, and ancient philosophy in constructive dialogue with early Christian literature to elucidate early Christians’ understanding, appropriation, and reformulation of Roman and Byzantine conceptions of health and wholeness from the second through the sixth centuries CE.

Utilizing the contemporary field of medical anthropology, Rhee engages illness, pain, and health care as sociocultural matters. Through this and other methodologies, she explores the theological meanings attributed to illness and pain; the religious status of those suffering from these and other afflictions; and the methods, systems, and rituals that Christian individuals, churches, and monasteries devised to care for those who suffered. Rhee’s findings ultimately provide an illuminating glimpse into how Christians began forming a distinct identity—both as part of and apart from their Greco-Roman world.

Les cigarettes en URSS

Cigarettes and Soviets: Smoking in the USSR

Tricia Starks
 

Publisher ‏ : ‎ Northern Illinois University Press (November 15, 2022)
Language ‏ : ‎ English
Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 324 pages
ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1501765483


Enriched by color reproductions of tobacco advertisements, packs, and anti-smoking propaganda, Cigarettes and Soviets provides a comprehensive study of the Soviet tobacco habit. Tricia Starks examines how the Soviets maintained the first mass smoking society in the world while simultaneously fighting it. The book is at once a study of Soviet tobacco deeply enmeshed in its social, political, and cultural context and an exploration of the global experience of the tobacco epidemic.

Starks examines the Soviet antipathy to tobacco yet capitulation to market; the development of innovative cessation techniques and clinics and the late entry into global anti-tobacco work; the seeming lack of cultural stimuli alongside massive use; and the expansion of smoking without the conventional prompts of capitalist markets. She tells the story of Philip Morris's "Mission to Moscow" campaign for the Soviet market, the triumph of the quintessential capitalist product―the cigarette―in a communist system, and the successes and failures of the world's first national antismoking campaign. The interplay of male habits and health against largely female tobacco producers and medical professionals adds a gendered dimension.

Smoking developed, continued, and grew in the Soviet Union without mass production, intensive advertising, seductive industrial design, or product ubiquity. The Soviets were early to condemn tobacco, and yet, by the end of the twentieth century Russians smoked more heavily than most most other nations in the world. Cigarettes and Soviets challenges interpretations of how tobacco use rose in the past and what leads to mass use today.

Call for applications

The Department of History at UC Santa Cruz is recruiting up to three PhD students to begin in the fall of 2023 to pursue research on the histories of science, medicine, and/or the environment in the Global South. Applicants may specialize in the study of the Middle East and North Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, South Asia, East Asia, or indigenous communities across the globe (including North America). Applicants may – but need not be – from the geographies that fall within the broad category of the Global South as long as their research agenda is focused on the geographies described.

UCSC is known for its reputation as a center for the study of science (e.g. feminist science studies, multi-species studies, the study of race and genomics). The successful applicant will become part of an interdisciplinary community of scholars whose work focuses on questions of science, medicine, and the environment. In pursuing a research agenda situated in the Global South, they will have the opportunity to join researchers across the university and to participate in various transdisciplinary forums that include the Science and Justice Research group, the Center for Cultural Studies, the Center for the Middle East and North Africa, the Center for South Asian Studies, the program in Global and Community Health, the Center for Southeast Asian Coastal Interactions, and events sponsored by the Departments of Politics, Sociology, Anthropology, History of Consciousness, Feminist Studies, Anthropology, and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies.

In addition to university support, successful applicants will receive additional funding intended to support for language training and research from a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation on the theme of “The History of Science at the Interface of Biomedical and Environmental Concerns,” whose Principal Investigator is Jennifer L. Derr (History). Further information about the history department’s graduate program can be found on their web page (https://history.ucsc.edu/graduate/index.html). Please contact Jennifer L. Derr (jderr@ucsc.edu) or the Graduate Program Coordinator for the Department of History, Cindy Morris (morrisc@ucsc.edu) with any questions regarding applying or the graduate program. Applications must be submitted no later than December 10th, 2022.

La peste à l'époque byzantine

Plague in Byzantine Times: A Historical and Medical Study

 

Costas Tsiamis

Publisher ‏ : ‎ De Gruyter (November 14, 2022)
Language ‏ : ‎ English
Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 158 pages
ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-3110611199

The lack of reliable demographic data for Byzantine cities raises questions as to the actual rate of expansion and mortality of plague. This essentially leads to the question of change and progress of the nature of infectious diseases in that period. Also, the analysis of the written sources raised a series of questions, mainly epidemiological in nature: the entry points and spreading of the disease in the Mediterranean, the epidemic dynamics as well as the evolution of the microbial agent of plague, i.e. Yersinia pestis. The present study offers a substantial explanation for the outbreaks of plague that struck Byzantium by exploring the multiple factors that caused or triggered epidemics. The study covers the entire period extending from the beginning of the Byzantine Empire until its fall in 1453, which was marked by two major pandemics, namely the Plague of Justinian and the Black Death. All known primary sources were collected and grouped from a spatiotemporal perspective, so as to retrace the unfolding of the two pandemics. The focus of the research shifts from known historical frameworks to ones of human activities, endemic foci and natural environment of the era as risk factors of the outbreaks.

Durham Residential Research Library Fellowships

Durham Residential Research Library Fellowships for the academic year 2022 - 2023

Call for applications

The Durham Residential Research Library (http://durham-rrl.org.uk/) is delighted to invite applications from researchers for Visiting Fellowships of one month in duration.


The Durham Residential Research Library aims to enable and foster research across the historic collections of Durham, notably Palace Green Library, the Oriental Museum, the Library of Ushaw College (the former Roman Catholic seminary just outside the City), and the medieval Priory Library and the archives of Durham Cathedral. The resources available to scholars include not only libraries and archives, but also collections of visual and material culture, and architectural assets. The purpose of the Visiting Fellowships is to support research into these globally significant collections.


The Barker Visiting Fellowships are intended to support research into any of the collections held in Durham and there are a number of Lendrum Priory Library Fellowships available specifically to support work on the surviving contents of Durham Cathedral’s medieval priory library. This collection is currently the focus of a large-scale digitisation project, Durham Priory Library Recreated www.durhampriory.ac.uk.


In addition, there is availability for 2 remaining Holland PhD studentships. Fellows will be encouraged to work collaboratively with academic subject specialists, librarians, archivists and curators to realise the collections’ research potential, and to develop innovative research agendas. They will also be encouraged to participate in the life of the University, particularly its broad range of seminar series.


Applications

Applicants should submit a short CV together with a summary of the project and materials they propose to work on, and the expected publications or other outcomes (maximum two sides of A4). Applications should demonstrate a serious research interest that focuses on primary source material within the collections held at Durham. Applicants who plan to collaborate with Durham academic staff are especially welcome and should mention this in their application.

Applicants should indicate their preferred dates. They should also indicate to which university department(s) and/or research centres their research most relates.

Applications should be submitted by noon on Wednesday 7 December 2022. We shall aim to notify successful candidates by the end of December 2022. Fellows will be granted an honorarium of £1,800 per month towards their transport and subsistence costs. A small number of PhD bursaries may be available to the value of £540.


Please note that fellows will be expected to arrange their own travel and accommodation.

Applicants are strongly advised to consult with the relevant collections staff to ensure that the materials they wish to work with are available at the times of their visit. This is particularly important in the case of the Oriental Museum and Ushaw Library, both of which have limited opening hours. Recipients of all fellowships are expected to be in continuous residence in Durham and to participate in and make a contribution to the intellectual life of the University.
