WFF Gender and Diversity Fellowships
In honor of the 50th and 150th anniversaries of coeducation, and the 125th anniversary of Ph.D. education, WFF & GSAS will launch the Gender and Diversity Fellowships in the 2019-2020 academic year for Yale graduate and professional school students. The Fellowship supports students whose research intersects with the advancement of gender equity and diversity at Yale. We seek scholars whose work or area of interest contributes to current issues and policies related to gender and diversity, with a preference to those interested in higher education but also with the intention to expand our community of scholars. We encourage students at any stage in their program who are approaching their discipline with a gender component to apply. Overall, we seek an interdisciplinary cohort of up to six individuals who will enrich our intellectual community with their varying perspectives. Fellows will be expected to share their work at least once in the academic year and participate in Fellowship presentations with our members in a lunchtime talk series. Fellows will receive mentoring from WFF faculty, an annual stipend of $1,000 disbursed in increments of $500 per semester, and shared office space at the WFF offices. To apply, please submit a personal statement of up to one page and the names of two faculty references. Application deadline: May 15th, 2019. Inquiries: wff@yale.edu.
