Call for Applications: 2022-2023 PhD Candidate Research Fellowships

USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research

Deadline: February 15, 2022

The USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research is inviting proposals for its three research fellowships for advanced-standing PhD candidates. Each fellowship provides $4,000 support and will be awarded to an outstanding advanced-standing PhD candidate from any discipline for dissertation research focused on testimony from the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive and other USC resources. Each fellowship’s recipient will spend one month in residence at the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research during the 2022-2023 academic year.

The USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive is a collection of over 55,000 audiovisual testimonies of survivors and witnesses of the Holocaust and other genocides, including the Rwandan, Armenian, Guatemalan, Cambodian genocides, the Nanjing Massacre in China, and anti-Rohingya mass violence. The majority of testimonies are life history interviews in which interviewees discuss their lives before, during, and after genocide and mass violence. With interviews conducted in 65 countries and in 44 languages, testimonies capture both the individual experience of mass violence and the social and cultural history of the 20th century on a global scale.

Award decisions for the fellowships will be based on the originality of the research proposal and its potential to advance research with testimonies in the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive or other internationally unique and growing research resources at USC. The deadline is February 15, 2022.
