Instituted by Isabelle Pingree and Brown University in 2011 to honor the distinguished career of her late husband Professor David E. Pingree, University Professor and Professor of the History of Mathematics and of Classics at Brown University until his death in 2005. This prize will be awarded to the Brown undergraduate from any concentration who presents the best paper in a given year dealing with the rigorous intellectual traditions of the ancient and medieval worlds and their textual sources (including mainly, but not only, Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Arabic, and Akkadian).

Brown University invites applications for an International Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowship in early modern studies with a focus on “Humanities in the Colonial World c. 1500-1750’.  The position will be held at the Center for the Study of the Early Modern world (EMW) in the Cogut Institute for the Humanities at Brown University, and at the Brown Department of Classics, for a two-year term beginning July 1, 2023.  The Fellow will teach two courses each year in Classics which will be cross-listed as Cogut/EMW courses.

The Department of Classics at Brown University invites applications for two (2) two-year, non-renewable Postdoctoral/Post-MFA fellowships in Critical Classical Studies to begin July 1, 2023. We seek junior colleagues whose work directly addresses and critiques the structures of power, exclusion, erasure, and violence that have scaffolded past and present models of Classics. The Department fosters especially strong relationships with other departments and centers in the humanities and with the Brown Arts Institute (BAI), a recently formed research enterprise and catalyst for the arts within the university and beyond.
