The Center for British and Irish Studies is proud to offer the Ogilvy Travel Fellowships and Conference Travel Grants to graduate students affiliated with any CU Boulder department or college.
J. D. A. Ogilvy Travel Fellowships support scholarly or creative work in any aspect of British and/or Irish Studies that necessitates traveling to libraries, archives, or locales anywhere in the world.
Examples might include, in no particular order:
1) travel to Oxford, England, and the archives of the Bodleian Libraries to study ephemera related to the women’s suffrage movement in the UK for the creation and staging of a play set in 1918;
2) travel to Kingston and other locations in Jamaica to conduct archival, art historical, and topographical research for a scholarly, multimedia project on the First Maroon War; and
3) travel to Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, London, and Brussels to interview key players and consult the historical archives of the European Commission for a dissertation on Brexit negotiations.
Conference Travel Grants are available to graduate students who have presented or will present papers addressing subjects dealing with British and/or Irish Studies at a conference, in the United States or abroad, during the current academic year or the first semester of the next academic year. In addition, graduate students who are presenting a paper in a virtual/online conference may also apply to have their registration fee reimbursed. Note that awards are subject to all CU regulations regarding domestic and international travel. Award recipients will receive the necessary information when they are notified of the success of their application.
