Fellowship: Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships.
The Ruskin School of Art at the University of Oxford
The Ruskin School of Art at the University of Oxford would be pleased to host Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA) fellows, and they are currently encouraging applications for Individual European Fellowships in the history and theory of recent and contemporary art. Suitable topics include studies of exhibition curating and organisation, as well as the historiography of twentieth-century art and the theorisation of contemporary artistic practices.
