In collaboration with the Hamburg Institute for Advanced Study (HIAS), CALAS invites outstanding scholars from Latin America and the Caribbean to undertake research projects for a total of six months—four months in Hamburg and two months at the University of Kassel, Germany. This year’s fellowship focuses on contemporary authoritarian backlashes in Latin America. As in other world regions and against the backdrop of the rise of the far-right, anti-democratic political forces, achievements in the areas of democratic pluralism, cultural diversity, aesthetics and arts, gender equality and diversity as well as environmental rights and norms are currently under threat in Latin America. These developments are particularly felt in the areas of gender, the environment culture and arts.
The call is open until May 17, 2026. Conditions can be consulted here.
