Dartmouth: Dissertation Fellowships for African-American Scholars . . . [FND] (02.01.13)


Information as of October 31, 2001
********************************************************************** 

SCOPE: Dartmouth College is inviting applications for the Thurgood 
Marshall Dissertation Fellowships for African-American Scholars. 

DEADLINE: January 12. 

FUNDS: Each Fellowship provides a stipend of $25,000, office space, 
library privileges, and a $2,500 research assistance fund. The 
residency is one year

ELIGIBILITY: Open to US citizens of African-American descent who plan 
careers in college or university teaching.

AREAS: The immediate goal of the Fellowship is to increase the number 
of African-American faculty in American higher education by supporting 
African-American scholars in completing the dissertation. The second 
goal is to bring to Dartmouth College more role models for potential 
African-American graduate students among Dartmouth undergraduates. 
Each Fellow will be expected to complete the dissertation during the 
tenure of the fellowship and to participate in selected activities 
with undergraduate students (for example, guest lectures in classes, 
programs for minority students interested in academic careers, 
interactions with undergraduate majors in the host department).

Fellows may be taking the Ph.D. degree in any discipline taught in the 
Dartmouth undergraduate curriculum: 1) Humanities: art history, Asian 
and Middle Eastern languages and literatures, classics, drama, 
English, film studies and television studies, German, French and 
Italian, music, philosophy, religion, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese; 
2) Sciences: biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, earth 
science, engineering sciences, mathematics, physics and astronomy; 3) 
Social Sciences: anthropology, economics, education, geography, 
government, history, psychology and brain sciences, sociology; and 4) 
Programs: African and Afro-American studies, Asian and Middle Eastern 
studies, comparative literature, environmental studies, Jewish 
studies, Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean studies, linguistics 
and cognitive science, Native American studies, and women's studies.
