DISSERTATION FELLOWSHIPS
The University of Toronto's Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Sawyer
Seminar, "Globalizing the Americas: World Economies and Local Communities,"
is seeking two dissertation fellows for the academic year 2006-07. The
seminar will gather scholars from across the Americas to explore the
contemporary and historical effects of globalization on local
communities in North, Central, South America, and the Caribbean. The
successful applicants will be expected to attend all meetings of the
seminar, interact with its visitors and participants, and perform
modest administrative and organizational duties. Fellows will also present a
paper to the seminar. They will be affiliated with all three
University of Toronto campuses as well as with the Centre for the Study of
the United States and/or the Latin American Studies program.
The fellowship is intended to support graduate students in the final
stages of their Ph.D. (or equivalent degree) research in any
humanities and social science field. Candidates' research should engage
directly with one or more of the 'thematic threads' of the seminar: labour
and empire; economy, culture, and commodities; migration and diaspora;
race and inequality; labour movements and working-class culture; and
redefining and reconceptualizing 'labour.' As a condition of the
award, during their tenure fellows will be focused entirely on their
research and are expected not to accept any stipendiary or teaching
fellowship positions.
For more information on the seminar, see

Candidates should send 3 letters of reference, a cover letter that
includes a dissertation prospectus and a statement about what the
candidate hopes to contribute both to the Sawyer project and to the
University of Toronto community, a short writing sample (dissertation
chapter, for instance), and a CV.
Financial package is $20,000
