ldalal@Duke Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Anyone else who applied, let's keep each other posted!
ldalal@Duke Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 Yeah my application status has just said "recommended" forever... I'm going a little crazy!
Anthro14 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 like an obsessed person, i was going through all the AAUW GradCafe threads over the past years...and NO ONE has won it on the site yet. what are the odds?! hopefully that's about to change...good luck to you!
Anthro14 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 yea, mine still says "recommended" as well. past threads have tried relentless to de-code the meaning behind those statuses but for naught.
WelcomeToTheHellmouth Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I, too, am curious about the odds for getting this fellowship. I plan on applying for this fellowship in November 2014. I've searched endlessly but have yet to find any substantive information on who the ideal candidate is. To what extent does one have to be involved in gender studies or gender-related activism? My dissertation topic has nothing to do with gender, but I have mentored female students in the past and continue to do so. Would this be enough to make me competitive? Any information would be greatly appreciated, including whether or not I should direct this inquiry to another board. Good luck, everyone!
Anthro14 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) all good questions. my research does have a gender/women's studies component to it and i have many years of mentoring female students but i still have no idea what my chances are. by creepily google searching the winners last year i found that a lot of the winners for the american fellowship specifically work on gender/sexuality/women's studies. a lot of them were researching rights issues and the law side of things, but also some in education, sociology, health. some already appeared to be associate professors which seemed strange since this is a dissertation completion grant...hopefully someone on this forum will win it this year and that way we can have a clearer understanding of the ideal candidate Edited April 1, 2014 by Anthro14
Anthro14 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 ugh. my status STILL says "recommended." I hope that just means they're not updating that portal. Im so happy all the waiting and hoping is soon to come to an end. 5 more days! lets hope it's good news
ldalal@Duke Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 Sooo the "check your status" link is no longer available. Anticipation rising!!
Anthro14 Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 gah. me neither. this seems to just not be my year in terms of funding. ah well, just keep swimming...
boomer Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Sorry Anthro14. This is my second time applying. I don't know how they select the awardees. Two of my colleagues got the American Felllowship though. I applied in the international. I noticed that in my category, most of the awardees are in the sciences.
Anthro14 Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Yea, it's kinda a bummer that they don't even send us individual emails. it almost feels as though i didn't even apply without that closure, haha.
