$3,000 Fellowship on Higher Education for Doctoral Students at UC Campuses
The Center for Studies in Higher Education (CSHE) at UC Berkeley invites doctoral students from all UC campuses who are conducting research on higher education to apply for the David P. Gardner Seminar.
Each year, CSHE sponsors the David P. Gardner Seminar for doctoral students who are conducting research related to higher education. Named after UC President Emeritus David P. Gardner, the seminar was expanded in 2020 beyond UC Berkeley to engage students across the University of California system. Applications are accepted from doctoral students from all the UC campuses who represent multiple academic disciplines and are studying some aspect of higher education. This broad range in the seminar participants creates a unique community of early career researchers in higher education within the University of California system.
For each session, CSHE invites diverse scholars and administrators to make presentations on key higher education topics in California, the nation and the world. Students in the seminar hear lectures from prominent education leaders including chancellors and former presidents of University of California. Past speakers have included:
- UC Regents Chairs, Cecilia Estolano and John Perez
- Professor Tolani Britton from the Graduate School of Education, UC Berkeley
- Former Under Secretary for Education Martha Kanter
- Director of the Center for Innovation and Research in Graduate Education (CIRGE) at the University of Washington, Maresi Nerad
- Engage with a range of disciplines that are related to higher education;
- Learn from scholars about their current research;
- Broaden understanding of different research tools and methodologies;
- Present their own dissertation work;
- Explore potential career paths; and
- Create a community of early career higher education researchers
The seminar meets remotely every other week for two hours - at least 14 meetings during the academic year.
Award:
Participants in the seminar are called David P. Gardner Fellows. Upon completion of the seminar, they will receive a $3,000 stipend.

About STAGE:
STAGE – Scientists, Technologists and Artists Generating Exploration – is a full-scale laboratory embedded within a science and engineering school devoted to collaborations among scientists and artists. Specifically, it is at the helm of one of four core research themes, that of "Arts, Sciences and Technology," at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME). The STAGE Lab's distinct research focuses on creating and developing new theatre and film work inspired by science and technology. Rather than science lectures disguised as plays or films, these are emotionally engaging, entertaining stories "that happen to be about science." STAGE harnesses the power of storytelling to promote understanding of the sciences in the public arena, catalyze the development of art that depicts the scientific and technological age in which we live, and cultivate appreciation and collaboration between the two cultures of science and art.
