PhD Fellowship in Indigenous Crimean Tatar Studies
The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS) and the Faculty of Native Studies (FNS), ɫ, are pleased to announce a new doctoral fellowship in Indigenous Crimean Tatar Studies.
The fellowship provides the opportunity for an eligible emerging scholar to pursue doctoral study of Crimean Tatar history, culture, and society from an Indigenous studies perspective at the Faculty of Native Studies, in partnership with CIUS. The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, Faculty of Arts, is a global leader in the field of Ukrainian studies. The institute is dedicated to the production, preservation, and dissemination of expert knowledge about Ukraine and Ukrainians in Canada and worldwide. The Faculty of Native Studies is a world leader in the multi-dimensional discipline of Indigenous Studies. The only autonomous academic unit of its kind in North America, it is research-oriented, student-centred, and community-engaged.
This fellowship has been initiated in response to the acute need for supporting and strengthening Indigenous Crimean Tatar studies and to foster a robust intellectual connection between Crimean Tatar studies and Indigenous studies, globally and in Canada in particular. Indigenous studies in Canada is a leader in the international community of Indigenous scholars in the pursuit of knowledge, resurgence of Indigenous knowledge systems, and development of sustained and successful practices of decolonization. It is our hope that this doctoral fellowship will lead to the development of new and important intersections between the discipline of Indigenous studies and the field of Crimean Tatar studies.
