Description
The Barbara Rosenblum Dissertation Scholarship, offered by Sociologists for Women in Society (SWS), encourages doctoral research in sociology, anthropology, psychology, and related fields on women’s experiences of breast and other reproductive cancers and their prevention. It honors Barbara Rosenblum, whose sociological work advanced understanding of women and cancer before her death from breast cancer in 1988.
The scholarship supports feminist research attentive to the effects of reproductive cancers on diverse groups of women. Projects should offer both academic value and practical applications, such as informing and empowering women, demystifying disease, or addressing the breast cancer epidemic more broadly. A further goal is to make findings and their applications accessible to the public through speaking and publishing for general audiences.
