THE ANN PLATO FELLOWSHIP

The Ann Plato Fellowship, named for a 19th-century African-American poet,
essayist, and teacher, supports a minority doctoral student who is an
American citizen and is engaged in writing his or her dissertation.
Applicants from historically underrepresented groups, including African
Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, and US
Latinos, are especially encouraged to apply.  Preference will be given to
candidates working in fields currently supported by the College.  The Fellow
enjoys faculty status, delivers a formal, public lecture in the fall
semester, and teaches one course in the spring semester.  The fellow is
expected to be in residence during the fellowship tenure and to become
engaged in the Trinity College community.  The Fellowship provides a $32,000
stipend; a campus apartment; an office; a computer; library privileges at
Trinity, including the Watkinson Library, and our consortial colleges, and
ready access to Hartford-area archives, including the Connecticut Historical
Society, the Wadsworth Atheneum, the state library, the Cities Data Center,
and the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center.  Appointment is for one academic year
with the possibility of renewal for a second year.

Applicants should send a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, a copy of
their dissertation proposal, a 10- 20 page writing sample, and three letters
of recommendation to the Ann Plato Search Committee, c/o Janet Marotto,
Williams 232, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 06106 by December 16, 2002.
Applications are reviewed by an interdisciplinary faculty committee.
