The Center for the Study of Law and Culture at Columbia University invites
applications for residential fellowships for the 2007-2008 academic year
to undertake research, writing and discussion in ways that span
traditional academic disciplines. The CSLC welcomes scholars from any
field who are interested in spending the academic year in residence at
Columbia Law School working on scholarly projects relating to the CSLC's
2007-2008 theme: Executive Power.
We aim to appoint fellows whose scholarship addresses the critical and
legal implications of expanding executive power not merely from the
perspective of the state?such as the Bush administration's celebrated
attempt to expand executive privilege vis-?-vis the other branches of US
government?but from the perspective of power more generally. Since the
post-structural assault on theories of power that posited it as emanating
from a concentrated source, critical theory has conceptualized power as
dispersed, capillary, and simultaneously productive and repressive.

What might be the ramifications on legal and critical thought and practice
at the intersection of new attempts to concentrate institutionally various
forms and careers of power? We invite in particular scholarship whose
focus is outside the US and lies at the critical conjuncture of law and
culture. Fellows will be required to present an original paper from their
research and to participate in a year long colloquium on the same topic.

The Law & Culture Fellowship is available to senior graduate students and
post-doctoral candidates, including untenured faculty.

Founded in the fall of 2000, the Center for the Study of Law and Culture
is an initiative at Columbia Law School designed to facilitate
interdisciplinary study, research and scholarship on the intersections of
law and culture. Our goal is to make the CSLC an institutional site for
coordinating and coalescing the important, yet dispersed, interrogations
of the relationship between law and culture that are already being
undertaken across disciplines at Columbia University. By promoting and
providing a home for cross-disciplinary engagement and collaboration, the
CSLC will enrich each of our individual projects in law and culture
studies.

Fellows will receive a stipend of $30,000, an office, computer,
eligibility for university housing, and full access to university
libraries, computer systems and recreational facilities. Fellows will be
expected to participate in CSLC activities including presentation of a
paper at the Center's Colloquium Series, and assistance in organizing
Center events.

Applicants should submit:
1- a curriculum vitae
2- a writing sample (in the English language, about 25 pages in length)
3- a research statement (of approximately 1,000 words) that:
- describes the proposed work during the fellowship period
- explains the project's significance to the topic of Executive Power
- sets forth its interdisciplinary nature
4- TWO letters of recommendation (if sent with application, letter should
be sealed in letterhead envelope and signed over the flap by referee). If
more than two are sent, it is not guaranteed that all letters will be
read.

E-mail applications will be accepted. Letters of recommendation may be
sent under separate cover. Incomplete applications will be immediately
disqualified.
