Description
The American Journalism Historians Association (AJHA) offers this annual research grant to support graduate students and junior faculty working in mass media history. It honors Hazel Dicken-Garcia, who mentored numerous master’s and doctoral students during her 30-year career at the University of Minnesota. The grant provides assistance for travel and other research expenses rather than salary.
Preference is given to work reflecting Dicken-Garcia’s scholarly interests, including journalism standards, equity, gender and identity, ethics, international communication, Civil War journalism, and free expression. The guidelines also emphasize projects using a historical perspective to examine professional standards for journalists and media outlets, past and present. Recipients share their completed research and explain how the grant supported it through a brief article in AJHA’s Intelligencer newsletter.
