Center for the Right-Wing Studies Graduate and Undergraduate Mini-grant Program

Description: The Center for Right-Wing Studies invites UC Berkeley graduate and undergraduate students to apply for small grants to assist with the development of student research projects on issues related to right-wing movements in the U.S. and other regions of the world.

Established in February 2009, the mission of the Center is to encourage and nurture scholarship on right-wing movements in the United States, Europe, Latin America, and other regions of the world over the past hundred years.  The Center is especially interested in supporting research that examines the diversity of right-wing movements and their respective emphasis on social and religious issues, nationalism and race, and economic doctrines.  The Center promotes research, offers mini-grants, fellowships, and training opportunities to Berkeley students, publishes findings, and brings together leading scholars through conferences, colloquia, and other public events in order to engage in a comparative and interdisciplinary dialogue on right-wing ideology, politics, and organizational forms and their likely directions in the 21st century.

Eligibility: Full-time UC Berkeley undergraduate and graduate students who are conducting individual research projects on right-wing movements in the U.S. and/or other parts of the world are eligible to apply.  Proposals that support undergraduate thesis or graduate dissertation research are strongly encouraged.  Undergraduates may apply for grants up to $500Graduate students may apply for grants up to $1,000.

Deadline: November 16
