Graduate Fellows Programs
Director of Research's Welcome Message
As a Graduate Fellow, you will be involved in a nurturing community that offers professional growth opportunities and faculty and student mentoring. Key strengths of the Graduate Fellows community include the diversity of disciplines, backgrounds, and areas of interest, as well as its intergenerational nature. Emerging Scholars receive support for their developing scholarly agendas in their first few years of doctoral education while Dissertation Fellows receive support for their culminating projects. Teaching Fellows bring a commitment to promoting learning through pedagogical excellence. All Graduate Fellows participate in a seminar that I lead every quarter which provides stimulating contexts for sharpening interdisciplinary and comparative skills, refining research agendas, preparing for careers in the academy and beyond, and getting socialized to their professions. In addition, Graduate Fellows enrich their education through participation in CCSRE research events such as the Faculty Seminar Series and Chautauquas and are eligible to apply for small research grants. I urge you to take advantage of all the resources and opportunities that CCSRE offers to enrich your doctoral preparation experiences.
I look forward to building a support community with you this year and to learning about your backgrounds, research portfolios, and career plans.

The Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity supports graduate student teaching and research through three fellow award programs for incoming and advanced PhD students. CCSRE Graduate Fellows form a vibrant community of emerging scholars of race and ethnicity. Fellows participate in the CCSRE Graduate Fellows' Research Seminar to share research, engage with faculty, and develop comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives on the study of race and ethnicity.
CCSRE Emerging Scholars
This three-year fellowship supports incoming graduate students interested in the study of race, ethnicity, and inequality. Students must be nominated by one of our affiliated faculty members.
Dissertation Fellows
This fellowship supports graduate students who are working to finish dissertations focused on race and ethnicity. Dissertation Fellows are usually in their final year of study at Stanford.
Teaching Fellows
This is awarded to advanced graduate students who seek teaching experience in CCSRE and research support as part of an interdisciplinary cohort of race scholars.
