Deindustrialization Studies MA Fellowships at Concordia University

The Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time (DePOT) Project, a transnational SSHRC Partnership Project, is in a position to fund up to THREE (3) DePOT Master’s Fellowships for MA students starting at Concordia University in September 2025. The Fellowships are valued at $12,000 CAD a year for two years (total value of $24,000 CAD).

• Two fellowships are open to students interested in researching any aspect of deindustrialization studies for incoming September 2025 students in the MA History or INDI programs at Concordia University, who will be working under the supervision of Professor Steven High in the Department of History. Proposals focused on the trade union movement, or the environment are particularly encouraged but we are open to other ideas. The geographic focus of the proposed projects is open. Fellowship holders are eligible for other funding sources (TA and RA contracts, internal and external scholarships).
• One fellowship is open to students interested in researching on any aspect of deindustrialization studies focused on China for incoming September 2025 students in the History or INDI programs at Concordia University, who will be working under the supervision of Yuan Yi in the Department of History. Fellowship holders are eligible for other funding sources (TA and RA contracts, internal and external scholarships).

DePOT Fellowship holders are expected to be active members of the transnational project, including attending meetings, and maintain their thesis focus on deindustrialization. For more on the project, please visit our website at deindustrialization.org.

To apply: Please send a cover letter outlining your project idea, including cumulative GPA, and CV, to Steven High (steven.high@concordia.ca ). The deadline for applications for these fellowships is November 1st, 2024.

If you are nominated for this fellowship, Drs Steven High or Yuan Yi will work with you on your formal admission proposal to the Concordia program’s graduate committee. Your fellowship is dependent on your successful admission into the program.
