The Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies invites applications for its 2017-2018 Fellows Program on the theme "Revolution(s) in Eurasia."
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world historical importance of the Russian Revolution has faded from scholarly and public consciousness. Yet this seminal event of the twentieth century had, and arguably continues to have, a deep and enduring effect
on a variety of global and national histories through its contending narrative understandings, social representations, and political appropriations.
In synchronicity with the centennial of this revolution, the theme for the 2017–2018 Fellows Program is “Revolution(s) in Eurasia.” The Davis Center encourages prospective fellows to interpret the theme broadly and welcomes all applications.
We are particularly interested in focusing attention on the global dimensions of the Russian Revolution, provoking an examination of the revolution’s broad historical effects, both directly and indirectly. Beyond 1917 and the Russian Empire, we hope to trace
the broader implications of the revolution experience in this region on politics and ideology, notions of women and gender, rationalism and religiosity, and perhaps empire itself. The implications for understanding various contemporary revolutionary ideas
and movements around the world will also be explored.
