Description
The Mother Theodore Guerin Research Travel Grants are administered by the Cushwa Center at the University of Notre Dame. Established in 2018, the program supports scholars whose projects feature Catholic women in modern history. Grants help fund visits to archival repositories in the United States and abroad, as well as travel to conduct oral history interviews, especially with women religious.
The program commemorates the historic connection between Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College and the University of Notre Dame. It is named for Saint Mother Theodore Guerin (1798–1856), the French missionary who founded the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods in Indiana in 1840.
