Funded Summer Opportunity

 In 2018, a summer program, the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute (DISI for short), was launched by Erica Cartmill, a developmental psychologist and anthropologist at UCLA, and Jacob Foster, a computational sociologist, also at UCLA, with generous funding from the Templeton World Charity Foundation. You can find more details about DISI, as well as a short video, on our website at www.diverseintelligencessummer.com. The basic idea behind DISI is simple: to bring together promising graduate students, postdocs, and early career faculty for our FELLOWS program and artists, writers, filmmakers, podcasters, etc. for our STORYTELLERS program for an interdisciplinary exploration of the origin, nature, and future of intelligences. The first and second iterations of the Institute were a great success. All accepted fellows and storytellers are funded. We are inviting students at your university because we truly wish to make our summer program an international affair. We are holding the Summer Institute at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, from June 28 to July 18, 2020. This is a beautiful seaside location, easily accessible from Edinburgh International Airport, and a picturesque train journey North from London. We’ve already assembled an outstanding international faculty (www.diverseintelligencessummer.com/2020faculty), and more are yet to be added. In addition to lectures and discussions, DISI offers participants the opportunity to develop collaborative interdisciplinary research projects with support from faculty and staff. I’ve attached a flyer advertising the Institute (the color version is for digital dispersion and the black-and-white version is for optimal printing), and included a link to our website below. Please consider circulating the flyer around your Department and any other departments/individuals you feel might be a good fit for our Institute. Application review begins in early March. All application portals and other details can be found on our website at www.diverseintelligencessummer.com. If potential applicants have any questions, they can reach out to me, Associate Director of DISI, at hildaloury@ucla.edu.
