KADOC, the Interfaculty Documentation and Research Centre on Religion, Culture and Society at the Catholic University (KU) Leuven, Belgium invites applications for its 2022 Fellowship Program. As one of the leading cultural heritage institutions in Belgium, KADOC is an international research centre focusing on the societal legacies of religion and its material and immaterial manifestations in modern society.
Explaining the types of candidates KADOC is looking for, the call explains: “In our 2022-call we would like to express a particular interest in candidates researching the multifaceted social commitment of religious actors in the 19th and 20th centuries, for instance in health care, poor relief, popular education, care provisions for vulnerable and indigent people. We particularly welcome scholars researching the motives, specific nature and significance of this religiously motivated social agency, and how this was reflected in (public) discourses, strategies, and imagery. We are particularly interested in comparative or transnational research.” For full application details and deadlines, please see here: https://kadoc.kuleuven.be/english/3_research/31_ourresearch/fellows/fellows_2022
