“The Animals & Society Institute and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have, since 2017, co-hosted a new Human-Animal Studies Summer Institute program for advanced graduate students and early career scholars pursuing research in Human-Animal Studies. This program is focused on graduate students and those in the first few years post-Ph.D., and enables 20-30 participants to work on their dissertations or publications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign within the Center for Advanced Study, for one intensive week.”
The Institute is directed by Jane Desmond, Resident Director, Kim Marra, Margo DeMello, and Kenneth Shapiro.
Applicants must “be a doctoral student at the dissertation stage or early career scholars no more than four years past the Ph.D. or be a MSW or JD student in the advanced stages of their degree, OR professional degree students seeking a degree in law, veterinary medicine, public policy, and so on,” and the ASI “offers a handful of scholarships to students at the advanced stages of their degree training who lack any summer support from their home institution or any external fellowship.”
