CCSRE Faculty Research Fellowship

 

The Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity (CCSRE) aims to support and sustain an environment of vibrant and intellectually engaging scholarship. This mission includes fostering community, collaboration, and innovation through bringing together scholars on campus who focus on race and ethnicity in their work.

The Faculty Research Fellowship program features Stanford scholars who have recently published new, timely research on how race and ethnicity have powerfully shaped human experience across time, context, and place. During the fellowship period, faculty will have the opportunity to provide intellectual leadership to the Stanford community through their groundbreaking work while benefitting from research support and engagement with other scholars on campus.

Faculty Research Fellows, along with our affiliated scholars and graduate fellows, will collaborate over wine and cheese at several chautauquas, or educational gatherings, hosted by the Center that will feature the recent work of each fellow. These informal gatherings will take place during the academic year, and will both highlight, as well as invite critical discussion around, each work. The Center will provide participants with a copy of each fellow's work and they will be encouraged to come to the event prepared to debate and discuss.


 

***Information for the 2016-2017 applications will be posted in late March***

CCSRE offers Faculty Research Fellowships to current, full-time members of the Academic Council and Medical Center Line of the Stanford faculty who focus on race and ethnicity in their research. Three fellowships will be awarded. In order to apply, scholars need to have published a book, edited volume, collection of essays, or research article between January 1, 2013 and June 30, 2015 (i.e., the past two and a half years). These works will be featured, in turn, at each gathering. Fellows will also receive $7,500 in support of their research. Please also note that junior faculty members are eligible to submit book manuscripts for consideration that are near-complete and close to publication.

The 2015-2016 fellowship term will run from September 21, 2015 through June 12, 2016. We welcome fellowship applications from scholars in all disciplines, including the humanities, social sciences, science and engineering, business, law, and medicine.
