Graduate Summer Fellows Program
The Pardee Graduate Summer Fellows Program is a program targeted at graduate students from across Boston University. It provides exceptional students at Boston University an opportunity for intensive interdisciplinary research and writing on topics that are aligned with the broad research interests of the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future at Boston University.
The Pardee Center conducts interdisciplinary, policy-relevant and future-oriented research that can contribute to long-term improvements in the human condition. The Center facilitates interdisciplinary research and is especially interested in rigorous analysis relating to longer-range human development, using global and regional (multi-national) analysis. The Pardee Center is interested in research that is development oriented, future focused and policy relevant. For more information about Pardee research, click here.
The program is a 10-week fellowship in the summer and includes a financial stipend, structured interaction with Pardee Center faculty and research fellows, and a collegial atmosphere that fosters peer support and intellectual growth. Summer Fellows will occupy workspace provided at the Pardee House for the duration of the fellowship while they conduct independent research, and produce a substantive research paper that my be considered for publication by the Pardee Center. Fellows are also expected to participate in Pardee Center activities and all Summer Fellows’ events.
The Summer Fellowships are open to all Boston University graduate students. Doctoral students, including ABDs, are especially encouraged to apply. Research proposals that link positively to the student’s own and/or BU faculty’s ongoing research are especially desirable. Applications are usually open in the Spring semester.
