Posted on April 26, 2023 by - Awards & Honors, Department News

Our student Josephy van der Naald was recently awarded the Center for Engaged Scholarship dissertation fellowship for the 2023-2024 academic year. The award is $30,000 and the fellowship is designed to support students whose research is politically-engaged, and oriented toward ameliorating inequality of all types, supporting democracy, and addressing environmental issues.

Here is the website that has all the information about the Center and its dissertation fellowship program: https://cescholar.org/. Joey would be willing to assist students who are interested in applying for the fellowship next year.
