Call for Applications: George E. Pozzetta Dissertation Award

The Immigration and Ethnic History Society has posted a call for applications for the George E. Pozzetta Dissertation Award:

The IEHS presents two awards of $1,000 each to help graduate students with their dissertations on U.S. immigration, emigration, or ethnic history, broadly defined. These awards are intended for graduate students in the process of researching and writing their dissertations, and not for students completing and defending in 2024. For the 2024 award, the committee invites applications from any Ph.D. candidate who will have completed qualifying exams by 2023.

Applicants will submit the following materials to pozzetta_award@iehs.org, which will reach all committee members:

  1. A 1500-word descriptive proposal in English discussing the significance of the work, the methodology, sources, and collections to be consulted.
  2. A proposed budget.
  3. A brief curriculum vitae.

In addition, applicants will arrange for their major advisor to submit a supporting letter to pozzetta_award@iehs.org

Application materials and the supporting letter must be received by the submission deadline: December 31, 2023.
