David Grazian has been named as a 2013-14 member of the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ. Founded in 1973, the School of Social Science takes as its mission the analysis of societies and social change, and is devoted to a multi-disciplinary, comparative and international approach to social research. Each year, the School of Social Science invites about 20 visiting scholars with various perspectives to examine historical and contemporary problems, providing a space for intellectual debate and cross fertilization to flourish. Scholars are drawn from a wide range of fields including political science, economics, law, psychology, anthropology, history, philosophy, and literary criticism. Members pursue their own research, and participate in a weekly seminar at which each has an opportunity to present on going work. In an attempt to create a sense of community, the School designates a theme for each year. For 2013-2014 the theme will be The Environmental Turn and the Human Sciences.
