Summer Grant Writing Group
The Mellon Foundation and ACLS just announced an exciting new $40,000+ fellowship for PhD students who are still developing projects, called the Dissertation Innovation Fellowship program. Proposed projects could include things like "digital methods training, a short-term practicum with a think-tank or social justice organization to develop experience with applied methods, and/or site-based research involving community-engaged or collaborative approaches."
Jonathan Anjaria has organized a summer discussion and writing group focused on developing ideas and proposals. Thirty graduate students from History, Anthropology, English, Music, and Sociology signed up to attend four 1.5-hour sessions.
Connected PhD
The Connected PhD program, which is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, seeks to enrich professional development opportunities for doctoral students in the humanities and humanistic social sciences at Brandeis. Two types of funding are available to humanities and social sciences PhD students: 1) grants of up to $5000 to acquire practical skills and 2) grants to pay for internships and part-time work that has clear professional development opportunities.
This funding opportunity is now closed.
