Milena Jesenská Fellowship for Journalists

A cliche of recent times in the U.S. is that Europe's intellectuals and its professional classes are awash in anti-Americanism. Is that true? What constitutes "anti-Americanism"? Is it stoked by intellectuals, or do they mainly reflect it? Are the issues "philosophical," or best described as matters of policy? What difference will the election of Barack Obama make to the phenomenon? I plan to explore these questions.

Between 2005 and 2009 the Institute for Human Sciences at Boston University also awards Milena Jesenská Fellowships to US journalists for research stays of up to three months at the IWM in Vienna.
