Description
The Society for Military History’s Russell F. Weigley Graduate Student Travel Grant Awards honor a distinguished American military historian and support promising graduate students’ participation in the Society’s annual meeting. These annual awards fund travel associated with presenting a paper or participating in a roundtable, rather than a separate research project.
The program supports scholarship contributing to the field of military history. Work represented among recent recipients spans different periods and regions, including war bride marriage after the First World War, Japanese child army followers during the Allied occupation and Korean War, Colombian military history and the Panama Canal, and influenza on the Western Front. Recipients have also participated in roundtables discussing dissertation topics and the home front’s place in military history.
