pursue research on fellowships
Twenty-one junior faculty members will receive University Fellowships for the 2001-2002 academic year that will allow them to leave their classroom responsibilities behind in order to concentrate on their research, Yale College Dean Richard H. Brodhead announced.
The annual awards are designed to help junior faculty members advance their research at a critical time in their careers.
Thirteen of the fellowships are in the humanities, one is in the natural sciences and seven are in the social sciences. The humanities fellowships are funded by an endowment established through the bequest of Susan A. Ensign Morse of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and by the Sid R. Bass Fellowship Fund. The natural and social science fellowships are supported by the Sid R. Bass Fellowship Fund, the Wendell W. Anderson Fellowship Fund, the Chauncey Keep Hubbard Fund, the Allan Shelden Fellowship Fund, the Weyerhauser Family Teaching Fellowship Fund and the Woods Fellowship Fund.
