The Center for Global Studies (CGS) is pleased to announce the Global Studies Dissertation Fellows program offered in conjunction with the College of the Liberal Arts’ Departmental Dissertation Release Awards. These combined awards are for Humanities graduate students who are working in the field of global studies in their dissertations.

The Center for Global Studies Fellow will be informed of all CGS events and asked to participate in those events that are of interest to them or that would benefit their research. Furthermore, the Center for Global Studies Fellow will be required to present their dissertation research at a CGS event or at a Global Studies K-12 Teacher’s Workshop.
