The McGill Institute for the Study of Canada (MISC) is now accepting applications for the Eakin Visiting Fellowship in Canadian Studies for the 2025/2026 academic year. The deadline is January 31, 2025.
The Fellowship is awarded for periods of one or two academic semesters to an active scholar focusing on studies related to Canada. It is awarded for periods of one or two academic semesters to a scholar, normally on sabbatical from their own academic institution.

The Fellowship may also be awarded to an individual outside of the academic community, whose writing, research or public career are making a significant contribution to intellectual life in Canada.
