Kramer wins Interdisciplinary Doctoral Fellowship
The Minnesota Population Center has selected Family Social Science student Karen Kramer to receive a one-year Interdisciplinary Doctoral Fellowship, to begin Fall 2008.
This $22,000 fellowship includes tuition and fringe benefits for the academic year. Karen will work with the Minnesota Population Center and Erin Kelly, an MPC faculty fellow, on her dissertation research. This is the first year of this University-wide interdisciplinary doctoral fellowship. The fellowship provides a unique study opportunity for outstanding Ph.D. students whose research and scholarly interests complement those of one of the University-wide, interdisciplinary research centers or institutes. Students are expected to devote a substantial amount of their time to developing their current or proposed dissertation topic during the fellowship year.
Congratulations, Karen!
