Hannah Arendt Humanities Network
Apply: OSUN Ambassadors for HAHN "Friendship and Politics" Conference
The Hannah Arendt Humanities Network is soliciting applications for a small, diverse, and carefully selected cohort to attend its annual conference exploring themes regarding "Friendship and Politics," which will be held on the Bard College campus in Annandale, New York on October 12-13.
Learn more about the conference here.
Travel and accommodation costs will be fully sponsored by OSUN’s Hannah Arendt Humanities Network. Faculty of any rank, as well as advanced college students, graduate students, and independent scholars are welcome to apply; there are no geographical restrictions. Ten ambassadors will be selected, with the goal of representing a diverse set of interests, academic standings, and regions of origin.
OSUN Ambassadors will meet as a group at least twice via Zoom in the weeks prior to the conference for structured discussions. They will also convene on the Bard campus just before the conference for a final discussion and a shared meal. OSUN Ambassadors will be expected to read a small selection of texts in advance of each meeting to prepare for the discussions.
The group will be led by
Thomas Bartscherer
, the Peter Sourian Senior Lecturer in the Humanities at Bard College and a Senior Fellow at the Hannah Arendt Center.
Among the questions to be discussed:
What is friendship and why is it meaningful?
Is there a crisis of friendship today?
How do the politics of identity and the culture of individualism affect the formation of personal and political friendships?
How can we nurture the intimate and public friendships that allow us to flourish?
What is the possibility of long-distance epistolary friendships in the internet age?
Deadline to apply is Tuesday, August 15
