The Centre for Caribbean Studies at the University of Warwick is pleased to announce two Research Fellowships for the academic year 2004-05. These Fellowships are open to staff and post-doctoral applicants from the University of the West Indies and the University of Guyana whose work addresses an aspect of Caribbean history, culture or society. The Fellowships are intended to allow scholars to conduct research in the UK for a period normally of one month and are available during the period from October 11 to December 1, 2004 and January 10 to March 15, 2005.
