Professor of German Pamela M. Potter was awarded a fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) for the 2023-24 academic year. The position allows for uninterrupted curiosity-driven research among a community of scholars at one of the world’s foremost centers for intellectual inquiry.
Each year, IAS welcomes more than 200 of the world’s most promising post-doctoral researchers and scholars who are selected and mentored by a permanent Faculty, each of whom are preeminent leaders in their fields.
