ASEH Fellowships
The ASEH currently offers three research fellowships for graduate students: the Hal Rothman Dissertation Fellowship, the J. Donald Hughes Graduate Research Fellowship, and the Equity Graduate Student Fellowship.
Hal Rothman Dissertation Fellowship
The Hal Rothman Research Fellowship was created to recognize graduate student achievements in environmental history research in honor of Hal Rothman, recipient of ASEH’s Distinguished Service award in 2006 and editor of Environmental History for many years. The fellowship provides a single payment of $1,000 for Ph.D. graduate student research and travel in the field of environmental history, without geographical restriction. The funds must be used to support research and travel during 2024.
J. Donald Hughes Graduate Research Fellowship
The J. Donald Hughes Research Fellowships were created to recognize graduate student achievements in environmental history research in honor of J. Donald Hughes, recipient of ASEH’s Distinguished Service award in 2000 and editor of Environmental History from 1983 to 1985. The fellowships provide a single payment of $1,000 for graduate student research and travel in the field of environmental history, without geographical restriction. The funds must be used to support primary research and travel during 2024.
Equity Graduate Student Fellowship
ASEH created this fellowship to recognize graduate students from an underrepresented group for their achievements in environmental history research, to expand ASEH membership, and to broaden the topics of study in the field. The fellowship provides a single payment of $1,000 for Ph.D. graduate student research and travel in the field of environmental history, without geographical restriction. The funds must be used to support primary research and travel during 2023. The ASEH Committee on Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity will review the applications and select the recipient.
