Harry Bridges Center Offers Grants for Labor Research To Graduate Students! (Due 2/21/2023)

Posted: 2/10/2023 (Funding)

The Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies currently seeks applications from University of Washington graduate students for grants of up to $5,000 for research about work, workers, and workers’ organizations. Applicants must explain the significance of their proposed research to the interdisciplinary field of labor studies. Proposals must indicate how the research is likely to generate important new information, interpretations, scholarly resources, and contributions to the applicant’s discipline and field. Research may focus on any dimension of labor in the United States or abroad, including but not limited to class relations, social conditions of work,  labor processes, working-class culture and politics, work and gender, work and race/ethnicity, relationships between labor and the state, unions, or comparative international labor relations.  Grants can be submitted to Rachel Erstad, Research Coordinator of the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies, at rerstad@uw.edu. 

The purpose of these grants is to provide funding for research expenses, including travel costs and living expenses while traveling. Although not intended to cover everyday living expenses, applicants not requiring travel outside of the Puget Sound area may use the grant for local living expenses. Grants must be used within two years of receiving the grant and while the recipient is a registered student. Grant recipients will be requested to make a short presentation within this two-year period.
