Description
The Michael J. Hogan Foreign Language Fellowship is administered by the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR) to promote graduate students’ research using foreign language sources. Established to honor Michael J. Hogan, long-time editor of Diplomatic History, it supports research on some aspect of U.S. foreign relations history that benefits from proficiency in a foreign language.
The fellowship helps cover the costs of studying languages needed for research, including online language learning programs, or travel associated with research in foreign language archives. It is awarded annually, with awards formally announced in January and recipients recognized at SHAFR’s annual conference in June.
