pEACE COLLECTION fellowships
jOANN ROBINSON fELLOWSHIP
This fellowship was set up to honor historian JoAnn Robinson for her commitment to nonviolence, education, and social justice. The JoAnn Robinson Fellowship will cover the costs of one night's stay at the Swarthmore College guest house, to enable an undergraduate or graduate student to conduct research at the Swarthmore College Peace Collection. Research must concentrate on one or more of the following topics: the history of peace movements; peace activists or pacifists; and the civil rights movement.
The fellowship has been made possible due to an anonymous gift from one of Dr. Robinson's former graduate students.
It will be available starting in January 2013.
