New Zealand Society Fellow in New Zealand Studies

The closing date for this award, which is in association with the Centre for New Zealand Studies and the New Zealand Society. is 5 June.
The 'New Zealand Society Fellow in New Zealand Studies' will be given to one individual each year.
Anyone is able to submit a research proposal, and we encourage all enquiries, but priority will be given to supporting NZ Studies in countries where it is lacking representation and/ or in underdeveloped subject areas.
The award is for up to £1000 and is designed to support an air fare (or other travel costs) and up to 10 days accommodation in London.

The fellow will be based in the Centre for New Zealand Studies, where a work space will be provided. As well as the research material held by the Centre, there are significant archival
holdings in London in institutions such as the British Museum, Public
Records Office, British Library, Victoria and Albert Museum, and the
Imperial War Museum.

The Fellow will be expected to write a report following their term and they will be required to give one presentation during the period in London. The Fellow will be given publication support to assist with the dissemination of their research.

The first Fellow in 2007 was Dr Yvonne Kozlofsky-Golan, from Israel, who was
at the Centre in August and during her 11 day stay conducted research at the
Imperial War Museum, focusing on NZ soldiers in the Holy Land in WW1 and
WW2.
The Fellowship last year was divided between Dr Ilana Gershon
(University of Indiana), who researched early Maori seats in the New Zealand
parliament, and Margit Wolfsberger (University of Vienna), who researched
relationships between New Zealand and Austria/ the former Austrian-Hungarian
empire.
The invitation is now open for the third Fellowship award. The closing date
is 5 June 2009, with the successful Fellow expected to commence their award
in the twelve month period after 1 July 2008.

All applicants must provide a 900-1200 word outline of the research proposal (including an indication of intended research institutions to be employed), a short list of keywords, a
relevant bibliography of 6 publications, and a CV.
Applicants will be shortlisted and the Fellow selected by a committee comprising of members of
the New Zealand Society and the Centre for New Zealand Studies' Academic
Council.
