Visual Culture (http://programs.ssrc.org/dpdf/visual) is one of the
five fields in 2007 that make up the Dissertation Proposal Development
Fellowship (DPDF), a new program organized by the Social Science Research
Council with funds from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
(http://programs.ssrc.org/dpdf).

Applications are now open for early stage graduate students to join a group
of 12 students led by Professors Anne Higonnet of Columbia University and
Vanessa R. Schwartz of the University of Southern California during summer
2007. These research directors run two workshops, in May and September,
that help graduate fellows develop their ideas into fundable dissertations
amenable to timely completion. Graduate fellows may apply for up to $5000
in summer research money. To apply before March 1st, 2007, please visit
the SSRC\'s online application portal at http://soap.ssrc.org/.
