ALMA Fellows

The ABI has launched the ALMA Research Series, Freiburg’s interdisciplinary colloquium on social transformations in Asia, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa. ALMA fellows are doctoral candidates or postdocs conducting interdisciplinary research. They empirically examine phenomena relevant to the social sciences which focus on non-European contexts and societies.

ALMA fellows have the opportunity to work at the ABI in an ALMA Studies Room. More information on how to become an ALMA fellow can be found here.
