Isom Fellows
About the Isom Fellows Program
The Isom Fellows Program is a two-year fellowship with the Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies funded by the Office of Provost. Isom Fellows will be given $4,500 a year for two years, in support of a research project focusing on gender or sexuality. This money may be used as a summer salary, for travel, for graduate student support, or in some combination thereof.
For the 2025-2027 cohort, the Isom Center will support six fellows in research projects in gender and sexuality for the two-year period. As part of their research, fellows may want to coordinate with the Isom Center in planning lectures and other campus events, or develop new crosslisted courses. Isom fellow will present their research at a poster session each fall of their award, to create larger networking opportunities for interdisciplinary research.
Applications are due by the end of the day on January 15, 2025.
Please contact Dr. Jaime Harker (jlharker@olemiss.edu) with questions.
