D. W.
Smith Eighteenth-Century Research Fellowship
The Canadian Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies is pleased to
sponsor an annual research fellowship designed to promote research into
the eighteenth century. The fellowship is named in honour of
David W. Smith, professor of French at the University of Toronto.
Professor Smith is a founding member of the Society and a distinguished
scholar of the eighteenth century.
The purpose of the fellowship is to support students and researchers
who do not have ready access to institutional sources of research
funding. Accordingly, full-time university professors (whether
tenure-track or tenured) are not normally eligible for
consideration. The fellowship is awarded competitively each year
in early spring. Applications are welcome in either of the
Society's two official languages, French or English. Application
details are given below.
