[IASH Work in Progress talk]
Friday 24th April 2020 would have been the beginning of a three-day reunion and celebration at Hope Park Square, marking 50 years since the first Fellows arrived at IASH. The event itself may not be happening, but we are delighted to present some of the research that would have been enjoyed by alumni and current Fellows.

Abstract:
Amidst the global pandemic, research continues across the arts, humanities and social sciences. IASH is delighted to celebrate five recent Fellows who have each been awarded one of the most prestigious awards in academia, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Fellowship. Many of their projects lead directly from the work they carried out in Edinburgh, highlighting the important role of Institutes of Advanced Study in nurturing the careers of scholars at all stages.
