Warburg Institute Announces New Fellows for the 2024-2025 Academic Year
We are thrilled to announce our cohort of fellows for the 2024-2025 academic year. Dedicated to the study of global cultural history and the role of images in society, the Institute supports interdisciplinary research across a wide array of academic disciplines.
The Warburg Institute owes its mission—and its very existence—to the open movement of people, collections and ideas. Forced into exile when the Nazis came to power, the Institute was relocated to England in 1933 and became an integral part of the University of London in 1944. Over a turbulent century, it has been a crucible of creativity for scholars, curators, artists, and those whose work transcends traditional academic structures
The 17 appointed fellows will benefit from and contribute to the vibrant intellectual community at the Warburg. Each fellow is provided with a workspace and may be invited to present a Work-in-Progress Seminar paper. They are also encouraged to contribute to the Institute’s blog fostering a rich exchange of ideas within the academic community.
