Former Fellow Dr Anna Pilz has written a piece for the Institute for Academic Development blog, titled Giving your research and network a boost through short-term or visiting fellowships. The blog highlights IASH Fellowships as a means of "bring[ing] the benefit of enabling you to work in a supportive and interdisciplinary environment, give you access to library resources and archives, and allow you to build your international network." Testimonials from three recent Fellows give insights into their experiences while in Edinburgh.
“I spent a very pleasant and productive six weeks at IASH Edinburgh during August and September 2024. My main reason was to spend part of my sabbatical semester in a quiet and well-resourced environment. In addition, I was lucky to find Professor Douglas Cairns willing to collaborate on my project (self-consolation in antiquity). Years ago I had been awarded a stay at IAS in Princeton and was much stimulated by the intellectual exchange among fellows and access to excellent libraries. IASH has created the same kind of environment—a little oasis in the maelstrom of modern academic life. I am very grateful for the precious time I spent there, reading, writing, and thinking—making good progress on my book and being encouraged to take in the diversity of projects present at IASH.” Dr Han Baltussen (FAHA) (W.W. Hughes Professor of Classics, The University of Adelaide, Australia)
