My name is Annette Freyberg-Inan, I’m associate professor of political science. I’m affiliated with the University of Amsterdam, and my fields are international politics and political economy, European politics, and social science methodology. What I came to work on at IASH is on the psychological foundations of the theories of international relations.
The University of Edinburgh’s Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities is about to launch its first eNewsletter.
Sign up to receive the quarterly eNewsletter at the footer of this page.
Once a quarter, we will share news about the Institute, introduce you to a Featured Fellow, showcase recent publications from our Fellows and alumni, and invite you to our upcoming events.
About the project
Over the years, IASH has focused on a number of key questions in the humanities, especially those which have relevance to the position of Edinburgh within the tradition of the Scottish Enlightenment, a tradition which continues to have relevance today. Our most recent theme for 2021-2024 was decoloniality.
Throughout the year, IASH hosts a lively scholarly community of visiting fellows. It is a supportive environment for postdoctoral researchers, while also attracting successful mid-career and eminent senior scholars. The Institute occupies a historic building with private courtyard and leafy views—perfect for uninterrupted thinking, reading and writing. Yet there is also plenty of opportunity to socialise and share ideas. From upwards of 65 countries, IASH Fellows form a global alumni community, and many career-long connections begin at the Institute.

The Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities was established in 1969 to promote interdisciplinary research in the arts, humanities and social sciences at the University of Edinburgh.
It provides an international, interdisciplinary and autonomous space for discussion and debate. Since its foundation, more than 1,500 scholars from 70 countries have held Institute fellowships; and up to 28 Fellows are in residence at any one time. Housed in a secluded 19th-century courtyard overlooking the Meadows, the Institute is adjacent to most centres of University activity.
