Dresher Center Residential Fellowship Program
UMBC Graduate Students: Fall 2013 Applications due August 1
The
Dresher Center for the Humanities at UMBC announces a call for applications for
two research fellowships for UMBC graduate students working on humanities
research projects. The fellowships are open to all UMBC doctoral and master's
level students working on a humanities-related research project that will
culminate in a dissertation or thesis. Fellows will reside at least two days a
week in the Dresher Center and receive up to $1000 to be used for research
travel, materials or other directly project-related expenses. They will share
an office in the Dresher Center. Fellows will be expected to conduct a
lunchtime discussion of their work for graduate students and faculty towards
the end of the fall semester, to participate in other lunchtime faculty
research discussions during the semester, to attend a majority of the
Humanities Forum events and to participate in other Dresher Center activities,
as requested by the Acting Director. Applications are due August 1 and
must include a current C.V., a letter of support from the student's research
advisor, and a one-page description of the research that will be conducted
during the semester. Please include a paragraph on the significance of the work
and how it will contribute to humanities scholarship. Send all materials
by email by August 1 to Bev Bickel,
Acting Director, Dresher Center for the Humanities.
