THE HENRY BELIN DU PONT DISSERTATION FELLOWSHIP
IN BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY
The Henry Belin du Pont Dissertation Fellowship at the Hagley Museum and
Library is designed for graduate students who have completed all course
work for the doctoral degree and are conducting research on their
dissertation. We invite applications from Ph. D. candidates whose research
on important historical questions would benefit from use of Hagley's
research collections. Applications should demonstrate superior
intellectual quality, present a persuasive methodology for the project,
and show that there are substantial research materials at Hagley pertinent
to the dissertation.
This is a residential fellowship with a term of four months. The
fellowship provides $6,000, free housing on Hagley's grounds, use of a
computer, email and internet access, and an office. Recipients are
expected to have no other obligations during the term of the fellowship,
to maintain continuous residence at Hagley for its duration, and to
participate in events organized by Hagley's Center for the History of
Business, Technology, and Society. Towards the end of residency the
recipient will make a presentation at Hagley based on research conducted
during the fellowship. Hagley also should receive a copy of the
dissertation, as well as any publications aided by the fellowship.
Application dossiers must include a dissertation prospectus, a statement
concerning the relevance of Hagley's research collections to the project,
graduate school transcript(s), and at least two letters of recommendation.
Writing samples also are welcome. Applications must be postmarked or in
hand by November 15. The fellowship will be awarded by February 1, and may
be used anytime thereafter in that calendar year.
Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with Hagley staff
prior to submitting their dossier. Inquiries and applications should be
directed to:
