Description
The Michael J. Hogan Foreign Language Fellowship is offered by the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR) to promote graduate-student research using foreign-language sources. Established in honor of Michael J. Hogan, long-time editor of Diplomatic History, the fellowship supports research on some aspect of U.S. foreign relations history.
