UC Berkeley Graduate Student Dissertation-Writing Fellowship Program 2008-2009
Deadline: will be announced - please check back!

UC Berkeley's Center for the Study of Sexual Culture awards two Fellowships to UC Berkeley graduate students engaged in dissertation research and writing. Awards have included a stipend paid at the beginning of each semester and payment of in-state fees for two semesters.

Eligible research projects for these fellowships must address one or both of the Center's primary and interlocking areas of concern:

- The first area involves the importance of sexuality to large cultural formations of various kinds, including (but not limited to) legal and legislative practices; the production and consumption of literary genres; popular culture; visual culture; the history of the body; and psychological and sociological theory.

- The second area involves the workings of specific sexual cultures, the precise ways in which sexuality is organized discursively and institutionally at given places and given times.

Priority for one of the fellowships is given to graduate students from the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality. One of the fellowships may be used for travel necessitated by research. It is expected that fellowship holders who are not traveling will participate fully in the activities of the Center during their fellowship year. One recipient will be known as the Magistretti Fellow.

Applicants must supply, by the deadline, to the CSSC office (address below):

A completed application cover sheet. (The cover sheet is available at the CSSC office and will be available by download as a .pdf file when the deadline for application is decided)

A letter of application (no more than 2 pages), stating when the applicant was, or plans to be, advanced to candidacy, and giving a brief account of the dissertation project that makes clear its relevance to the Center's areas of concern. The applicant should also indicate the present stage of research or writing.

A statement of the dissertation project. (not to exceed 5 pages)

Two letters of recommendation should be sent under separate cover. One letter should be from the applicant's dissertation adviser. Applications & letters of recommendation should be sent to
