Application for The Helen Ann Mins Robbins Fellowship--July 1998-June 1999
The first Helen Ann Mins Robbins Fellowship has been awarded to Ms. Suzanne
Craymer of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We will be
accepting applications for next years award until March 1, 1998.
The Helen Ann Mins Robbins Fellowship has been endowed by Rossell Hope
Robbins and Helen Ann Mins Robbins to provide a period of research at the
Rossell Hope Robbins Library for a woman working on a dissertation in
medieval studies. The award for the 1998-1999 academic year is $10,000.
The recipient of the fellowship must be working on a dissertation and using
the resources of the Robbins Library in the year of the award. The
recipient must be in residence in Rochester and making use of the Robbins
Library for at least six months of the academic year (to include at least
one complete semester), and we would be pleased if she were in residence for
the entire year. The recipient must provide for her own living and travel
expenses from the award. The ability of the Robbins Library to support
research in the area of the dissertation will be a factor in choosing the
recipient of the fellowship. The Robbins Library has outstanding holdings
in medieval English literature--including but not limited to Chaucer, the
Middle English lyric, medieval romance, and general Old and Middle English
literature--and has considerable holdings in medieval British history and
culture and in the relations between England and France in the Middle Ages.
Towards the end of her residency, the recipient is required to give a
lecture based on her research, and she is expected to engage in the academic
life of the University (by attending relevant lectures, etc.).
The deadline for applications is March 1, 1998.
