Woodrow Wilson Dissertation Fellowship in Women’s Studies

yxm76 on

The Woodrow Wilson Dissertation Fellowship in Women’s Studies encourages original and significant research about women that crosses disciplinary, regional, or cultural boundaries. The WW Women’s Studies Fellowships support the final year of dissertation writing for Ph.D. candidates in the humanities and social sciences whose work addresses topics of women and gender in interdisciplinary and original ways.

The Women’s Studies competition is for projects in the humanities and social sciences; projects in fields such as management, the clinical and biological sciences, and law are not eligible unless they have a demonstrable academic grounding in the humanities and social sciences. Applicants working on health-related issues in the social sciences should consider carefully whether their work demonstrably centers on the topic’s social, cultural, and individual aspects.

Deadline: October 15.

Eligibility: please consider the following questions to be certain that you are eligible:

Have you completed all pre-dissertation requirements?
Are you writing on issues related to women, gender, women’s studies or feminist/gender/LGBTQ theory?
Are you enrolled in a graduate school in the United States?
Is your area of study in the humanities or social sciences?
Do you expect to complete the Ph.D. by summer 2020?
If the answer to all of these questions is YES, you are eligible to apply for a Woodrow Wilson Dissertation Fellowship in Women’s Studies.

Awards: $5,000 to be used for expenses connected with completing their dissertations, such as research-related travel, data work/collection, and supplies.

The United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands are the countries most extensively represented in the collection, with a smaller but significant number of materials from Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, Japan, the former Soviet Union, Hungary, and more. With over 180,000 objects, the collection includes works on paper (posters, prints, design drawings, and more), furniture, paintings, sculpture, books and ephemera, glass, textiles, ceramics, lighting and other appliances, and beyond.

Fellowships are awarded for full-time research at The Wolfsonian, generally for periods of three to four weeks. Fellowships include a stipend, accommodations, and round-trip travel. The timing of dates will be negotiated with individual awardees. The program is open to holders of master’s or doctoral degrees, Ph.D. candidates, and to others who have a significant record of professional achievement in relevant fields. Scholars from outside of the United States are eligible.

Applicants may seek funding for projects based on completed dissertations. You must state in your application narrative that the proposal is to revise a dissertation, and you must explain how the new project moves beyond the original dissertation.
