This fellowship provides a unique opportunity to combine research, theory, and practice. It is available to current second-year, third-year, and fourth-year (BA/BFA only) students at Lang with a strong academic record in the social sciences. The fellowship
requires the ability to work independently in an internship over the fall semester and in independent research through the spring semester. It provides a rare chance for students to develop their research and writing skills through individual mentoring and feedback on their work.
The fellowship has three components:
- An internship of at least 120 hours over at least four weeks in the fall semester, designed to connect students’ academic interests to organizations in related fields. See below for a list of past internship sites.
- Work with an NSSR PhD student throughout the fellowship to develop and conduct a research project related to the internship.
- A four-credit independent study course in spring, during which students work with their research mentor to complete a research paper.
Students must also participate in a half-day orientation session in fall as well as various training sessions related to research methods. Fellows receive a $2,250 stipend from The New School for the internship.
