The Africana Studies Program at Lehigh University invites Ph.D.
candidates specializing in African diaspora studies to apply for a
two-year pre-doctoral / post-doctoral fellowship, beginning Fall 2011.
Applications are welcome from candidates whose research concentrates in
any area of the African diaspora and any of the following fields in
African Diaspora Studies: history, religion, gender, sexuality, culture,
identity formation and political life. Successful candidates must be
within one year or less of finishing all requirements for the Ph.D.
They will also demonstrate the ability to design and offer undergraduate
