Vandekerkhove Family Trust Graduate Student Fellowships (2)
The
Centre for Studies in Religion and Society invites applications from
UVic graduate students for one-year fellowship appointments at the
centre commencing September 2013.
Topics
The
centre welcomes applications for projects that meet its mandate of
promoting the interdisciplinary study of religion in relation to any and
all aspects of society and culture, both contemporary and historical.
Topics may include, but are not limited to, examinations of religious
themes within the areas of ethics, health, environment, technology,
public policy, human conflict, art, literature, the media, and social
currents and debates within philosophy and/or the natural sciences.
Applications from all disciplinary backgrounds are welcome.
Eligibilty
The
fellowships are open to all University of Victoria graduate students in
the process of writing either an MA thesis or major research paper, or a
PhD dissertation, on issues related to the centre's research mandate.
Students who have received a previous CSRS award at the MA level may
not reapply until they are registered in a PhD program. PhD students
can receive a CSRS award only once.
Value
$5,000 per fellowship, plus office space at the CSRS.
Number
Four
fellowships are available, two from each category (Ian H. Stewart and
Vandekerkhove Family Trust). Application procedures and criteria for
both categories are the same.
Conditions
Fellows
are expected to conduct their work in the centre's quarters, to
participate actively in the programs and activities of the centre and to
give at least one public seminar or lecture on the theme of their
research. Graduate students are also invited to participate in the
editing and production of Illumine, a peer-reviewed graduate student journal published annually by the CSRS.
Application Procedure

applications must include one (1) double-sided copy of the following: i)
a title that clearly identifies the subject of the project; ii) a

at the centre; iii) a curriculum vitae; iv) official transcripts
(graduate and undergraduate); v) a supporting letter from the
