The 2023 Fung Global Fellows Program at Princeton University is now accepting applications from individuals eager to embark on a research adventure. Don’t miss this opportunity!

We’re inviting applications from scholars who can help us better understand the lasting impact of colonialism. Your research can focus on any part of the world, whether in the past or present, and you can come from any background in the humanities and social sciences. We aim to bring together an outstanding group of international scholars to explore the enduring effects of colonialism, going beyond the usual view of colony versus metropole. We want to know how we can grasp these effects and whether there are solutions that can benefit us all in the future.
