CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: 2023-2024 PREDOCTORAL RESEARCH RESIDENCIES AT THE CENTER FOR THE ART AND ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY OF PORT CITIES "LA CAPRAIA” DUE BY 31 January 2023

November 27, 2022

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

2023-2024 PREDOCTORAL RESEARCH RESIDENCIES AT THE CENTER FOR THE ART AND ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY OF PORT CITIES "LA CAPRAIA”

The Advisory Committee of the Center for the Art and Architectural History of Port Cities “La Capraia”, a collaboration between the Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art History, the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte, the Amici di Capodimonte, and Franklin University Switzerland, invites applications for 2023-2024 Research Residencies for PhD students in the earlier stages of their dissertations. Projects, which may be interdisciplinary, may focus on art and architectural history, music history, archeology, the digital humanities, or related fields, from antiquity to the present. Projects should address the cultural histories of Naples and southern Italy as a center of exchange, encounter, and transformation, and, most importantly, make meaningful use of local research materials including artworks, sites, archives, and libraries. This year’s Research Residencies will run from 11 September 2023 through 3 June 2024.

All application materials, including letters of recommendation, are due by January 31, 2023.

Research Residencies run for the academic year (mid-September to early June). Research Residents are awarded free lodging and work space at La Capraia as well as a modest stipend, administered by Amici di Capodimonte, to help defray the cost of living. Research Residents are granted privileged access to collections and research resources at Capodimonte, and access to other sites, collections, and research materials are arranged as needed. During their time in Naples, Research Residents are expected to work on their projects full time and in residence, and to participate in the organized activities, scholarly programs, and intellectual life of the Center. Research Residents are invited to present their research in an informal seminar, gallery talk, or site visit in the spring semester. In the summer following the residency period, Research Residents are invited to contribute a short essay to the Center’s annual research report.

Download the call for the 2023-2024 academic year.

Research Residents Claire Jensen (2019-2020) and Elizabeth Duntemann (2018-2019) are happy to share with you their experiences of life at La Capraia.
