The Thoreau Society is pleased to announce the fourth annual Thoreau Country Conservation Alliance (TCCA) Graduate Student Fellowship.

The 2022 TCCA Graduate Fellow will receive an award of $1,000 to support research and scholarship. We welcome applications from those whose work will contribute to Thoreau scholarship or whose work draws on Thoreau’s biography and writings to contribute to related fields (Thoreau’s circle, Transcendentalism, civil disobedience and social justice, environmentalism and conservation, etc.). Proposals can be for dissertations, thesis work, or other projects.

We welcome proposals that target materials held at the Thoreau Institute Library in Lincoln, Massachusetts, including the Thoreau County Conservation Alliance Archives and The Thoreau Society collections, as well as materials held in Concord- and Boston-area archives that are not otherwise accessible. For the 2022 awards cycle, the committee will also welcome proposals for any other activities necessary to making progress on a project.

Please email the following to James Finley (james.finley@tamusa.edu): (1) A proposal of no more than one thousand words. (2) Projected budget. (3) Current curriculum vitae or resume. (4) A letter of recommendation from a faculty member familiar with the graduate student’s work and proposed project (emailed separately to james.finley@tamusa.edu).

Please contact the Fellowships Committee Chair with questions.
