Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2001 17:52:48 -0700

SCOPE: The Social Science Research Council is inviting applications 
for Dissertation Fellowships in the Arts. 

DEADLINE: March 1. 

FUNDS: Up to 14 fellowships of $16,500 each will be awarded. 
Fellowships will provide support for 9 to 12 months of research. In 
exceptional instances, the program may accept proposals of 6 to 9 
months at a correspondingly reduced level of support.

ELIGIBILITY: The fellowships are open to full-time students, enrolled 
in doctoral programs in the U.S., who are in the social sciences, and 
to students in other fields who draw upon or creatively engage the 
social sciences. There are no citizenship requirements or limitations 
on where the research is conducted. Applicants must have completed all 
requirements for the Ph.D. except their dissertation research by March 
1, 2002. 

AREAS: The Fellowship Program is intended to foster research on the 
social dimension of art in relation to a number of key issues, 
including globalization, multiculturalism and new technologies. SSRC 
encourages projects that explore diverse aspects of the artistic 
experience, including its production, distribution and consumption, as 
well as projects that address the construction of artistic value and 
the place of art in contemporary society.

In addition to the award, the Program will sponsor multidisciplinary 
workshops and mentoring opportunities to provide Fellows opportunities 
to discuss their research. These are intended to build scholarly 
networks, foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and help Fellows prepare 
for postdoctoral careers.
