Graduate Awards & Fellows

The Kenan Institute for Ethics offers an annual Graduate Award and Fellows program to support the ethics-related research and teaching of Duke graduate students.

The Kenan Instructorship in Ethics will be awarded to an advanced graduate or professional school student proposing to design and teach an ethics course in his or her area of expertise during the 2012-2013 academic year. All graduate and professional students at Duke are eligible to apply. Click here for full details and submission guidelines.

The Graduate Fellows is an interdisciplinary group of advanced graduate students who participate in a monthly seminar with faculty discussing faculty and graduate student work in progress. The Graduate Fellowships are meant to encourage students with research interests in the area of ethics, broadly construed, to meet and discuss their research with other fellows, KIE faculty, and visiting speakers over the course of the year. Faculty and graduate fellows meet on Mondays for lunch and to discuss research presented from someone within the group or by a visiting speaker. Students from all relevant disciplines are eligible, and students in the earlier stages of their graduate careers are encouraged to apply. Attendance at the weekly Monday workshops is required; the fellowship comes with a $5,000 stipend that supplements any other funding a student already receives.
