The Center for Mexican American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin announces its first annual competition for three (3) short-term research fellowships at the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection in the fields of Mexican American and Borderlands Studies. \u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Short-term fellowships are restricted to post-doctoral scholars, Ph.D. candidates or holders of other terminal degrees from outside the Austin area who have a specific need to use the Mexican American and Borderlands collections at the Benson Library. Further, projects must demonstrate innovation and substantial contributions to shaping the fields of Mexican American Studies and\/or Borderlands Studies. Fellowships are for 2 weeks with a maximum award amount of $750. Fellowships are for travel and housing. The Mexican American Library Program (MALP) at the University of Texas at Austin was formally established in 1974 by the University Libraries to support the educational needs of students of Mexican American and U.S. Latino culture and history. It is also designed to support the research activities of the faculty of the Center for exican American Studies, which has been serving the state of Texas and the nation as a leader in the intellectual development of Mexican merican studies since 1970.<\/p>\n Qualifications<\/em><\/p>\n Priority will be given to applicants who might not otherwise be able to complete their research without CMAS fellowship support and to applications that focus on the Mexican American and\/or experiences of the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands. Award recipients will be announced on June 15th. Residencies may begin on July 1, 2012 and must end by September 1, 2012. Awardees must publicly acknowledge CMAS and the Benson Latin American Collection in any published materials resulting from the fellowship, including doctoral dissertations, articles, and book manuscripts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Center for Mexican American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin announces its first annual competition for three (3) short-term research fellowships at the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection in the fields of Mexican American and Borderlands Studies. \u00c2\u00a0 Short-term fellowships are restricted to post-doctoral scholars, Ph.D. candidates or holders of other […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-976","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-jobs-and-fellowships","7":"entry","8":"override"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":141,"url":"https:\/\/malcs.org\/archive-2017\/2007\/11\/29\/diss-fellowships-womstu-at-ucsb\/","url_meta":{"origin":976,"position":0},"title":"Diss fellowships: WomStu at UCSB","author":"la Webjefa","date":"November 29, 2007","format":false,"excerpt":"Two positions to begin July 1, 2008 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA BARBARA WOMEN'S STUDIES PROGRAM DISSERTATION SCHOLARS TEACHING FELLOWSHIPS 2008-2009 The Women's Studies Program at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications for two fellowships for the academic year 2008-2009.
