Sabbatical Fellowships

Please note: These Fellowships are for University of Edinburgh staff only.

The Sabbatical Fellowship scheme is designed to enable colleagues who are on official sabbatical leave from the University to play an active role in Institute activities and to benefit to the fullest extent from the presence of other Fellows in residence.

Professor Susan Manning (1953-2013)

Friends, colleagues, students and staff mourn the unexpected passing of Professor Susan Manning, Grierson Professor of English Literature and, for the last 7 years, Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at the University of Edinburgh. Susan died peacefully soon after a stroke on Tuesday, 15th January 2013. This news came as a profound shock to all of us at IASH, in the English Department, the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and many others around the world whose lives were touched by Susan’s kindness, inspiration and scholarship.
