COMPTON PEACE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
Training African Doctoral Students for Careers in Africa

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

The African Studies Program has received a grant from the Compton
Foundation to support dissertation research in Africa by Africans. The goal
of the Compton Peace Fellowship Program is to build intellectual capacity
to address the challenges of conflict resolution, peace, and security in
Africa. The grant supports dissertation fieldwork in Africa conducted by
UW_Madison graduate students who are citizens of an African country, and
who plan to focus their careers on African problems, ideally from an
African home base. Four fellowships will be awarded in 2002.


Eligibility:
Applicants must meet all three of these criteria:

1. Must be an African Ph.D. student in the social sciences (broadly
defined) who will complete course work and be ready for dissertation field
research by fall 2002. To be eligible, the student must pass prelims by the
date of departure. Departure to Africa normally will be after the national
Compton Fellows orientation in September 2002, and before December 31,
2002. An African student is defined as a person holding a valid passport
from an African country, who has spent significant time in Africa.

2. Must be pursuing research in a social science discipline; research
projects on cross-disciplinary themes related to population and/or the
environment and peace are acceptable. SJD students in the Law School are
eligible.

3. Must demonstrate a clear intent to build a career focused on peace and
security in Africa, ideally from an African base.
