Reflection on the mechanisms of power and their impact on culture evokes direct associations with the works of George Orwell and can contribute to expanding the scope of potential research. The party slogan “war is peace”, found in the novel 1984, constitutes one of the vivid examples of the writer’s concept of “doublethinking”, illustrating the possibility of both representing and distorting reality through language. In this context, language is used not only to create an image of the world, but also to control the masses and manipulate consciousness.

Deadline: October 1, 2024

Designed to expand the accessibility of overseas research while increasing U.S. knowledge and expertise on Eastern Europe and Eurasia, the programs support fellows seeking to complete overseas, policy-relevant research. Fellowships last three to nine consecutive months and include round-trip international travel; housing and living stipends; visa support; overseas health, accident, and evacuation insurance; archive access; and logistical support. Following the completion of the research term, fellows will return to the U.S. and share their findings through presentations, articles, and lectures in order to strengthen and broaden current scholarship on the region.
