Overview
The Center for Columbia River History announces the James B. Castles Fellowship to support original scholarly research that contributes to public understanding of the history of the Columbia River Basin. The $3,000 Fellowship is open to graduate students, professional historians and independent scholars. CCRH encourages proposals from diverse historical perspectives, including social, ethnic, political, cultural and environmental studies. Proposals should align with one or more of the three CCRH initiatives: Native Communities of the Columbia River Basin; Fort Vancouver National Historic Site; or the CCRH Columbia River and the World Initiative. Detailed initiative descriptions are available on the special projects section of this website.
The fellow will receive half of the funding up front to support focused original research, which should be completed during the granting year (July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011). The remainder will be granted in conjunction with completion of a public product, journal submission, and a report. The fellow will consult with CCRH staff to determine the public outcome, either a presentation, curricular materials, or a web product for the CCRH website. The fellow will also submit an article for possible publication in a regional journal such as Columbia Magazine, the Oregon Historical Quarterly, Pacific Historical Review, or Pacific Northwest Quarterly, and will submit a final written report to CCRH about the research.
How to apply
To apply, electronically submit the following to info@ccrh.org: your curriculum vitae and a cover letter (800 words maximum) in Word format. The letter should describe your research project and the archives and/or other original sources you intend to use. It should also identify the proposed topic for your public product. Three letters of recommendation are also required. Electronic submission of scanned, signed recommendation letters are preferred, although hard copies will be accepted. If recommendation letters will arrive under separate cover, please provide contact information for the writers. Send to the Center for Columbia River History, 1109 East 5th St., Vancouver WA 98661. All materials should be received by June 1, 2010. Fellowship notification will occur by July 1, 2010.
Please submit all materials in one email.
The Castles Fellowship is made possible by an endowment provided by the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust to CCRH in honor of James B. Castles, a founding trustee who promoted the heritage of the Columbia River throughout his life.
