Evans-Pritchard Lectureship 2024-25

Applications are invited for the Evans-Pritchard Lectureship, to take place during the academic year 2024-2025.

The Lecturer will deliver a series of four to six lectures in the course of a month, usually during May, based on fieldwork or other indigenous primary materials concerning Africa, the Middle East or the Mediterranean, and offering an empirical analysis of social relations. Scholars in the fields of social anthropology, classical studies, archaeology, modern history, and Asian and Middle Eastern studies are eligible and, other things being equal, the electors will prefer a person at the beginning of their career. A doctorate is required for eligibility. It is hoped that the lectures will be published in book form.

Candidates for election should send an outline of their proposed lectures, a CV, and a list of publications, to academic.admin@all-souls.ox.ac.uk by noon, Tuesday 7 May 2024. They should also ask two referees to send their references (of no more than two pages) to academic.admin@all-souls.ox.ac.uk

Salary: Stipend of £4,000, board and lodging at All Souls College (or one of its properties) for the period of the lectures, plus reasonable travel expenses.

Closing date: Tuesday 7 May 2024, noon
