Applications are invited for the Evans-Pritchard Lectureship during the academic year 2006-07.
The Lecturer will deliver a series of four to six lectures in the course of at most one term, based on field work or other indigenous primary materials concerning Africa, the Middle East, or the Mediterranean, offering an empirical analysis of social relations. Scholars in the field of social anthropology, classical studies, modern history, and oriental studies are eligible and, other things being equal, the electors will prefer a person at the beginning or in the middle of his/her career. It is hoped that the lectures will be published in book form. The Lecturer will be accommodated in All Souls College, and will receive a stipend.
Candidates for election should send an outline of the proposed lectures, and a list of publications to the Warden, All Souls College, Oxford, OX1 4AL, by 31 January 2006. They should also ask two referees to write directly to the Warden, from whom further particulars may be obtained.
