JOHN B. AND THETA H. WOLF TRAVEL FELLOWSHIP
The John B. and Theta H. Wolf Travel Fellowship is a memorial to John B. Wolf, distinguished historian and teacher and onetime president of the Society for French Historical Studies, and to his wife, Theta H. Wolf, professor of psychology and author of the well-received biography of Alfred Binet, a French pioneer in the development of IQ tests. Fully as significant as their scholarly achievements were the warm hospitality, advice, and encouragement John and Theta Wolf provided to countless graduate students over the course of five decades. Their generous bequest makes possible an award of $2,000 to be given annually to a doctoral student at a university in the United States or Canada for dissertation research in French history (any period) that reflects the Wolfs' interest in and contributions to the study of European history. The award is administered by the Society for French Historical Studies and the Western Society for French History. The winner will be announced at the annual meeting of the Society for French Historical Studies.
The application must include the following: (1) a cover page with contact information for the period January to March, including postal address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address, if available; (2) a description of the project, not to exceed five double-spaced pages, explaining its purpose and significance, its contribution to the scholarly literature, and the places where and dates when it will be carried out; (3) the applicant's curriculum vitae, including educational background (schools and degrees), publications, and honors and awards; (4) a one-page, double-spaced statement outlining the applicant's career plans and explaining how the project will contribute to their fulfillment; (5) two confidential letters of recommendation, one from the applicant's doctoral adviser and the other from a person who knows the applicant and is familiar with the proposed project, both to be sent by the applicant in sealed envelopes and signed by the recommenders across the seals; and (6) transcripts of the applicant's graduate work. Three copies of items 1-4 and one copy of items 5-6 must be submitted by 1 January 2008 to the chair of the committee, Joshua Cole, Department of History, University of Michigan, 1029 Tisch Hall, 435 S.
