Overview

The Roberto Perin Graduate History Award for Field Research on Human Mobility and Diversity  supports doctoral students working on projects on human mobility (migration, emigration, immigration, identity, community building) and racial, ethnic or religious diversity. This award is intended to facilitate research essential to the completion of doctoral theses of a historical nature by covering expenses such as travel, subsistence, copying, the purchase of books, documents, data bases, software, and other related research expenditure at archives, libraries, research centres and repositories in Canada and abroad. Conference travel is explicitly excluded as an allowable expense. To be eligible, applicants must be enrolled in the PhD program in History and be beyond the comprehensive examination stage of their studies. Preference will be granted to those registered as full-time students at the time that they apply for the award, however part-time doctoral students may be considered if funds are available. Recipients may receive the Award a maximum of two (2) times and may also hold the Award in conjunction with other awards.
