The Raymond D. Fogelson Pre-Dissertation Research Grant honors the career and reflects the generosity of Ray Fogelson, former president of the American Society for Ethnohistory (1987-88). A leading expert in Southeast ethnology, Fogelson mentored several generations of graduate students over the course of his career, thereby contributing greatly to the growth and evolution of both the Society and the field of ethnohistory.
When established, the Fogelson Pre-Dissertation Research Grant will support preliminary travel to an archive or field location by a Ph.D. student in ethnohistory. The grant is meant to help the student determine the feasibility of a research agenda and thereby develop and refine a compelling dissertation topic. More information forthcoming.
