The Charles E. Lindblom Memorial Fellowship
An Invitation to the College and University Fund for the Social Sciences
The 2022 Charles E. Lindblom Memorial Fellowship supports an interdisciplinary social science project that evaluates the efficacy of an intervention to reduce inequality. One fellowship of $7,500 will be offered to a doctoral candidate in economics, political science, sociology, anthropology, history, and/or interdisciplinary social science at one of the member institutions for the College and University Fund for the Social Sciences.
Charles E. Lindblom (1917–2018), author of many influential works, including Politics and Markets, was Sterling Professor of Political Science and Economics at Yale University. He taught at Yale from 1949 to 1987, helping to found the Institution for Social and Policy Studies and serving as its director from 1974 to 1980. The Lindblom Memorial Fellowship is offered annually to honor his name and legacy and to recognize the deep and lasting impact he had on the scholars with whom he worked, and is made possible by a generous donation from Dr. T.Y. Shen, a former SSRC fellow.
Applications to the 2022 Lindblom Memorial Fellowship must propose projects that evaluate the efficacy of an intervention to reduce some form of inequality around the globe, including interventions by public, nonprofit, and private organizations. Projects are expected to result in the completion of an article-length paper within one year of the award.
