The British Politics Group is pleased to announce the annual Donald E. Stokes Dissertation Research Fellowship. This fellowship of $1000 U.S. is intended to assist a graduate student at a North American University working on a dissertation on British politics (broadly defined to include comparative and historical work as well as contemporary British politics) to conduct research in the United Kingdom. The application deadline for the 2008 competition is March 15, 2008. Applications should include a prospectus of 3-5 double-spaced, typewritten pages which outlines the project and makes clear how the fellowship will aid the research, plus a brief C.V. of no more than three pages. A letter from the Chair of the Dissertation Committee concerning the research is also required. Electronic submissions are acceptable. Research should be conducted in the United Kingdom sometime during the period June 2008 through August 2009. The successful applicant is required to submit a brief report (3-5 double-spaced pages) on the research financed by the fellowship by September 30, 2009. Applications will be judged by an international committee of British politics scholars. Applicants will be notified of the committee’s decision on their application by May 15, 2008.
The fellowship honors Donald E. Stokes, a founding member of the British Politics Group, a member of its first Executive Committee, and co-author of the seminal book, Political Change in Britain.
