In this golden age of astronomy, the sky is full of riveting objects. But nothing has captured the attention of so many disciplines as black holes have, across mathematics, physics, astronomy to history & philosophy of science. Indeed, black holes hit home with astonishing reach in the first image of the supermassive black hole M87* taken in 2019 by the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration (EHTC), an image of a seemingly unseeable object. In the EHTC, Galison worked in the imaging group to make this first-ever black hole picture. Tracing spacetime near the horizon—an edge of the universe—this light ring carries with it everything there is to say about the black hole.
Fellowship for Doctoral Students in Humanities and Social Sciences (fellowship) aims to cultivate distinctive doctoral students engaging in humanities and social sciences with steady scholarship so that they can dedicate themselves to academic research to the full. Steady grants allow awardees to demonstrate strong research potential, allowing them to focus on academic research. Awardees will receive a monthly stipend of NT$40,000, which increases to NT$50,000 after passing the doctoral qualification exam. In addition to the scholarship, recipients will have access to library resources and academic activities in Academia Sinica. For the year 2025, a total of 21 students have been selected.
