University of California-Berkeley - six areas for the Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowship (DPDF)

by Margaret McCone

The Social Science Research Council has just announced six areas for the Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowship (DPDF) Program. The areas are: After Secularization: New Approaches to Religion and Modernity Discrimination Studies Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Study of Contentious Politics Spaces of Inquiry Virtual Worlds, and Multiculturalism, Immigration, and Identity in Western Europe and the United States A total of 12 students, covering a wide range of disciplines, are admitted to each area. Admitted students attend workshops in June and September of 2010, designed to aid their engagement with the area to which they are admitted. I am writing to you in my capacity as one of the two Research Directors for the Discrimination Studies field, to ask you to encourage promising second- and third-year Ph.D. students to apply to the program. Further, I wanted to take this opportunity to briefly clarify the focus of the Discrimination Studies field. Discrimination Studies (DS) is not about race; instead, Discrimination Studies treats discrimination as a general social phenomenon even as any DS analysis may focus on discrimination concerning a particular social category. Thus, Discrimination Studies extricates the study of discrimination from a focus on race, or sex, or age, or any of many other social categories. There are many means by which the field accomplishes this aim. That noted, I am writing in hopes that you will encourage promising eligible students to apply to any program, DS or otherwise, that connects with their interests. Obviously, only a few students from each discipline will be selected for any of the six areas announced. But, it is a wonderful opportunity for those selected, and even those not selected may benefit from thinking through such a project at an early stage. Thus, I write to you to encourage you to inform promising, eligible students about the program. The first link below provides general information: http://www.ssrc.org/fellowships/dpdf-fellowship/ while the next link is specifically for the 2010 areas: http://www.ssrc.org/fellowships/competitions/dpdf-fellowship/9E56E847-B2D3-D E11-9D32-001CC477EC70/ If you have questions about the program, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be happy to answer any such questions you may have. And, thank you in advance for your efforts to encourage students to consider this opportunity. Sincerely, Samuel R.
