The Society for the Humanities and the Asian Studies Department at
Cornell University invite applications for a Mellon Postdoctoral
Fellowship for a one year period beginning July 1, 2001.  Candidates
should be engaged in research projects on narratives in South Asian
film, literature, and / or historiography.  Candidates should also
