About
In 2009 the Faculty of History received funding from the International Balzan Prize Foundation to establish an annual Lecture in modern intellectual history since c. 1500. The Balzan-Skinner scholar held a Visiting Fellowship at CRASSH for one term during the academic year. Since 2016 this fellowship has been known as the Quentin Skinner Lectureship in Intellectual History since c1500.
Like previous Balzan-Skinner Fellows, the Quentin Skinner Fellow will be invited to give a lecture on a subject of their choosing in the broad field of intellectual history since 1500, including the history of political thought, and will organise a half-day colloquium to follow the lecture.
For all enquiries please contact fellowships@crassh.cam.ac.uk.
