Description
The Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR) offers this annual fellowship to support doctoral candidates in the final phase of dissertation writing. It provides six months of support for completing an advanced project in U.S. foreign relations history or international history, broadly defined. The fellowship prioritizes promising dissertations at the writing stage rather than substantial new research.
The program’s historical scope encompasses work on migration, empire, diplomacy, economic relations, religion, public health, and international development. Past recipients have examined subjects ranging from nineteenth-century imperial encounters to Cold War politics and global economic change. Fellows are expected to finish writing their dissertations during the fellowship tenure.
