Call for Applications: Barbra Streisand Fellowships in Environmental Justice

/, , , by

The Barbra Streisand Center at the Center for the Study of Women invites applications for this year’s Barbra Streisand Fellowships. These fellowships will be composed of grants of up to $6,000 for faculty working on the topic of “Environmental Justice.” We encourage applicants to define this topic as broadly and expansively as possible. Additionally, and in light of funding uncertainties in these areas, we especially encourage applications that connect to the study of climate change, feminism, gender, sexuality, women, race, settler colonialism, indigeneity, and/or empire. Please review this year’s call for our annual Thinking Gender graduate conference for possible questions for engagement.

These funds can be used for research and travel expenses, salary stipends or course buy-outs, programming and events, supplies and equipment, GSRships, or a combination. Grant must be used by December 31, 2026.

Multiple grants, up to $6,000 each
