Former Strauss Fellows
Made possible through the generosity of Franklin Strauss, MD, the Center for Medicine, Holocaust and Genocide Studies provides two months of support to early-career scholars engaged in research at the intersection of health and healthcare with the Holocaust, other genocides or mass violence, more broadly. Strauss Fellows refine and pursue their research agendas within a community that includes clinicians and medical scientists, whose specialized knowledge can enhance fellows’ projects.
