Supporting Scholarship—Strauss Fellowships
The Center for Medicine, Holocaust and Genocide Studies offers Strauss Fellowships for early-career scholars: ABDs, postdocs and assistant professors (or equivalent professional stage). Made possible through the generosity of Franklin Strauss, MD, these fellowships support scholarship addressing the intersection of healthcare and medicine with the Holocaust, other genocides or mass violence, broadly conceived. Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the center, fellowships are open to scholars studying relevant topics through any number of fields.
We regret that there will be no 2024-2025 Strauss Fellowship competition.
