They have generated such projects as the last generation of southern slaveholders, the transformation of the southern mind, African American veterans, northern nationalism, German immigrants in the war, and economic and social tensions in the postwar South. Beyond the classroom, they participate in workshops as presenters or commentators in center events. Through the support of gifts to the Center, the center has established the following endowed fellowships to help graduate students with research support and release time for writing their dissertation. To be eligible for the Hassler and Landing Fellowships, students must have completed their doctoral course work and passed the comprehensive examinations. They may apply by submitting a proposal for their research project through the Graduate Awards Committee of the Department of History.
Guidelines are the same for the other departmental fellowships.
