RESEARCH PROJECT
The status of the European Leviathan is in doubt today as never before. Whether in the form of authoritarian governments or populist agitation, there is intense contention over what the role, size, and scope of the state in the 21st century should be. What can a historical account tell us about the European Leviathan then and now? What holds our European community together?
Washington University’s Center for the Humanities, in partnership with the University of Ghana, American University in Cairo and Stellenbosch University, with University of Ghana as the lead Institution, has received funding from the Mellon Foundation for a transnational program, aimed at enhancing research capacity for early career scholars in the humanities. The program funds the travel, housing and other related costs of selected early career humanities scholars from the four institutions to spend three months at one of the other partner institutions.
