>
> The Jackman Humanities Institute at the University of Toronto is pleased
> to announce Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships in the Humanities.
> Three Fellows will be selected for a two-year fellowship on the basis of
> accomplishment, promise of excellence, and relevance of their research to
> the 2012-13 theme, Food:
>
> Food is a basic human need. It shapes desires and yields many kinds of
> enjoyment. The humanities explore food from diverse perspectives seeing it
> both as an object produced and consumed and also as the means and symbol
> of our human relations. The diversity of what we eat (and dont eat) and of
> how food is produced and shared shapes cultures, communities, nations, and
> empires. Refracted through literature, religion, and art, food is a
> central lens for exploring human history and the patterns of our
> interaction. Hunger, as an index of poverty and of environmental disaster,
> provides a reversed lens with which we can explore justice and ethics. How
> humans get what they eat, from near and far, is basic to ways of
> inhabiting places on the earth and relating to other species. From
> hunter-gatherers to communal gardens, feudal farming to agribusiness, food
> and the systems that provide it are matched by a diversity of the tables
> at which we eat--food for celebration, sustenance, display, competition,
> joy and sorrow.
>
> Fellowships begin 1 July 2012. Eligibility: Ph.D. between 1 July 2009 and
> 30 May 2012.
