“Addressing the Gap: Resources and Support for International Graduate Students in the Humanities and Social Sciences”
Monday, 7 November 2016, 12-1:30 pm

Marston Visualization Lab (L136)

There is a growing gap between domestic and international students in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. The difference in available resources and institutional support is often quite stark and the limited available resources are frequently not codified in a coherent fashion. But this situation is a result of poor communication as much as anything else. Resources exist, but may not be easily accessible; support is available, but not always utilized.

This informational workshop is an opportunity to address this gap in communication and highlight what resources and institutional support exist for international students in the humanities and the social sciences. Our presenters will focus primarily on external grants and fellowships for which international students are eligible. They will discuss the institutional challenges that one must navigate in order to avail oneself of these opportunities.

By the end of the workshop, participants will know what funding bodies support grants and fellowships for international students in the humanities and social sciences, will learn strategies for navigating the institutional challenges, and will get a better sense of what resources and contacts are available at UF to make life as an international student less challenging.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
