Oregon Heritage Fellowships for Undergraduate and Graduate Students
OREGON HERITAGE FELLOWSHIPS TO BE OFFERED
The Heritage Programs Division of the Oregon Parks and Recreation
Department will provide 1-3 fellowships of $1,500 each to undergraduate
students who are seniors and to graduate students for researching,
writing and presenting a topic related to history, geography,
archaeology, cultural heritage, or historic preservation in Oregon.
The Fellowship recipients will make a 20-minute presentation of their
project or research findings at an Oregon heritage mini-conference in
April 2010. They will also be invited to submit their project paper to
the Oregon Historical Society for possible publication in the Oregon
Historical Quarterly.
The purpose of this Heritage Fellowship is to encourage the thoughtful
inquiry of Oregon's heritage by emerging scholars. Many new topics
remain to be pursued, and fresh perspectives on previously examined
topics are needed as well in order to keep the investigation of Oregon's
history fresh and relevant. The Fellowship not only offers a financial
incentive for those research efforts, it provides an opportunity for
sharing the results with the Oregon heritage community though a public
presentation. The hope is that these efforts will stimulate further
inquiry and discussion, and perhaps lead to even broader dissemination
through publications and other media.
The recipient must be a full-time student at a university in the State
of Oregon. The student must have completed at least 135 quarter credits
(or the equivalent) as an undergraduate student, or be enrolled as a
graduate student. The student may be enrolled in any major or field and
must be in good academic standing.
The research project must have Oregon’s history, geography, cultural
heritage, archaeology, or historic preservation as its central focus.
Examples of some of the areas this might involve would be history
education, architectural history, political history, environmental
history, art history, literary history, gender studies, ethnic studies,
the teaching of history, and historic preservation. Other topics are
possible as well.
Applications are due Oct. 19, 2009. Complete application information is
available at http://www.oregon.gov/OPRD/HCD/OHC/docs/fellowship.pdf
