The Wilson Institute is happy to announce that is once again accepting applications for the Corsini Fellowship in Canadian History.
This two-month fellowship is geared towards graduate students. Any candidate whose project deals with Canadian history will be considered, but projects dependent on local archives and libraries are particularly welcome. McMaster is archival home to the Bertrand Russell Collection, as well as numerous collections related to the First World War, Canadian publishing, and Canadian social and political organizations. It is also close to the Archives of Ontario, and other university and regional archives in southern Ontario. Each fellow will receive $5,000, a workspace at the L.R. Wilson Institute, and access to McMaster’s libraries and archival collections. Each fellow is expected to be in residence in Hamilton during the two-month fellowship in order to participate in the L.R. Wilson Institute’s program of activities and engage with our students and faculty. The fellowship will run from 1 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. Corsini Fellows are expected to present a paper at a Wilson Institute public event. In order to be considered for this fellowship, please send a CV, a cover letter that includes a project description, and a letter of support from your dissertation supervisor to wilsonCH@mcmaster.ca. Applications must arrive by 1 April 2026.
L’Institut Wilson est heureux d’annoncer que nous acceptons de nouveau des candidatures pour la bourse Corsini en histoire canadienne.
Cette bourse d’études de deux mois est destinée aux étudiant.e.s de cycles supérieurs. Les candidat.e.s dont le projet traite de l’histoire canadienne seront considéré.e.s, mais les projets qui portent sur des archives et bibliothèques locales sont particulièrement bienvenus. Il y a de nombreuses archives à McMaster et dans le sud de l’Ontario, notamment les archives publiques de l’Ontario, la collection Bertrand Russell (ici à McMaster), et de nombreuses sociétés historiques régionales. Chaque boursier.ière recevra un peu plus de $5,000, un espace de travail à l’Institut Wilson, et un accès aux bibliothèques et archives de McMaster. Chaque boursier.ière devra être en résidence à l’Institut Wilson pendant les deux mois de la bourse afin de participer dans notre programme d’activités et rencontrer nos étudiant.e.s et nos professeur.e.s. La bourse débutera le 1er juillet 2026 et se terminera le 31 août 2026. Les boursier.ères.s Corsini vont également devoir présenter leurs recherches lors d’un événement public de l’Institut Wilson. Pour appliquer à cette bourse, veuillez envoyer un CV, une lettre de motivation (comprenant une description du projet) et une lettre d’appui de votre directeur.rice de thèse à wilsonCH@mcmaster.ca avant le 1er avril 2026.
