Description
The Cohen-Tucker Dissertation Fellowship Program, administered by the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES), provides substantial support to doctoral candidates at US universities (regardless of citizenship) whose dissertations focus on Russian history from the imperial period through the early twenty-first century. The program offers two main types of fellowships: Dissertation Research Fellowships, which fund extended archival and field research, and Dissertation Completion Fellowships, which support intensive dissertation writing and revision. The program is open to students in any discipline, provided their work addresses cultural, economic, intellectual, political, or social aspects of Russian history.
