The Global Politics Lab is opening applications for its 2022-23 GPL Fellowships. The fellowship is created to give high-quality, intensive, networked mentoring to students interested in high-level engagement in scholarly literature, analysis, and writing.
Fellows will enroll in one credit of mentored research for the length of the fellowship (fall and winter with an optional spring term) and receive a small scholarship for the year. Fellows will be working on academic projects under faculty supervision. Fellows will be required to make substantial progress on a publishable paper and to present their work at appropriate conferences. If agreeable to both faculty and student, the student may work additional hours on GPL projects for pay or credit. Hours put in by fellows may exceed the explicit credit or pay received. Fellowships represent an opportunity for intellectual growth exceeding strict compensation.
