Robert J. Katz Research Fellowship in Genocide Studies

The Robert J. Katz Research Fellowship in Genocide Studies enables an advanced standing PhD candidate to spend a month in residence at the Center for Advanced Genocide Research every year. This fellowship is named after long-time volunteer and former Board of Councilors Chair Robert J. Katz in recognition of his service to the USC Shoah Foundation. The fellowship supports PhD candidates conducting original research with testimonies in the USC Shoah Foundation's Visual History Archive, which contains extensive documentation of genocide experiences. Award decisions for this fellowship are based on the originality of the research proposal and its potential to advance research with testimonies in the Visual History Archive. The fellowship provides PhD candidates with the opportunity to conduct intensive research at USC's Center for Advanced Genocide Research and engage with the extensive resources of the Shoah Foundation's archive of survivor testimonies.
