Catalog text

The IIE catalog with the official grant text and full award details is available from early February to mid-September.

The opportunity to conduct research at the Sigmund Freud Museum—with its extraordinary resources, staff, and leadership—was a high point of my intellectual life, and the opportunity to teach at the University of Vienna was a tremendous privilege. I also fell in the love with the city of Vienna and very much hope to return. Max Cavitch, 2024–25 Fulbright-Freud Visiting Lecturer of Psychoanalysis
