The Max Planck-Cambridge Centre for Ethics, Economy and Social Change invites applications from PhD students in the Department of Social Anthropology at Cambridge to apply for a grant (of up to £2,500) to host a seminar or workshop, to be held in Cambridge in Lent 2020, on a theme related to the work of the Max-Cam Centre.

This scheme is designed to enable graduate students to present and discuss their research with peers. Applicants are encouraged (but not required) to include in their plans participants from across academic disciplines (e.g. history, economics, sociology, philosophy, theology, etc.) and speakers (or discussants) from other universities.

Terms of the application:

• Groups of two or more PhD students may apply.
• The theme of the seminar or workshop should fall within the remit of the Max-Cam Centre (see our website for details).
• The seminar or workshop should be a one-day event; please propose a possible date.

Applicants should send:

• a 500 word thematic description
• a one-page draft timetable
• a provisional list of participants

In addition, applicants should ask their supervisors to write a brief letter of support to the committee.

Please send applications to the Max-Cam administrator, Ms Connie Tang (pyt20@cam.ac.uk). Applications (including supervisors’ letter of support) must be received by noon, Friday 6th December 2019, for events to take place between January and April 2020.

Enquiries about the scheme may be addressed to the Max-Cam co-ordinator, Dr Johannes Lenhard (jfl37@cam.ac.uk).
