Although special consideration will be given to proposals addressing one or more of these topics, proposals on other themes will be considered. International demographic trends including demographic transitions, reproductive rights and the economics of population growth relevant to substantive theoretical areas in anthropology, economics, history, sociology, and international relations. Comparative development and modernities involving the dynamics of economic, social, cultural, and political change and the development of civil society in regions such as Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Western Europe, and the republics of the former Soviet Union. Funds will not be available until the student has advanced to candidacy. Students must be currently registered with the Graduate Division or on approved travel status.
Students are eligible for support regardless of previous fellowships from other sources.
Requests for tuition and fee costs as a separate item will not be considered. Successful candidates will be consulted regarding other funding sources before the award is granted. Under most circumstances, dissertation fellows are expected to be resident at Berkeley for the tenure of the award, except those who must conduct research away from the Bay Area.
