This fellowship has been established to honor the life and work of Jack
Henning, San Francisco labor leader, statesman, and tireless champion of all
working people.
Purpose: To encourage innovative study of the problems, identities,
philosophies, and – particularly – the expressive cultures of working
people in the United States.
Eligibility: Graduate students (Master’s and Ph.D. candidates)
enrolled in an accredited California university undertaking research
related to laborlore, labor history, occupational folklife, trade union
traditions, and/or workers’ expressive culture, all broadly defined.
Applicants may be from any relevant discipline, including but not limited
to Anthropology, Art, Communication Studies, Cultural Studies, English,
Ethnic Studies, Folklore, Geography, History, Labor Studies, Literature,
Sociology, Urban Studies, and Women’s Studies.
We are especially interested in supporting graduate students who are
exploring important, innovative topics related to the lives of working
people that may fall outside of the parameters of traditional academic
research and funding.
Award: A stipend of $5,000 will be provided for the academic year
2012-2013. The award recipient will be expected to submit a progress report
at the end of the field research and a final report when the
thesis/dissertation is completed.

of each of the following:
I. The written proposal, of no more than 1500 words, describing a
field-based research project that focuses on some aspect of workers’ lives
shall include:

d. an estimated budget
e. a preliminary bibliography
II. Applicant’s CV and a listing of other awards, scholarships, and funding
sources, applied for and/or received, if any.
