This fellowship provides support for students that are conducting research and creative work in African, African American or African diaspora studies.

Nigerian immigrants in Japan and formerly segregated state parks were the focus of this year’s Center for African and African American Studies (CAAAS) summer fellowships.

The CAAAS summer fellowships recognize 91�� graduate students that are conducting research and creative work in African, African American or African diaspora studies. The goal of the fellowship, which is co-sponsored by University Libraries, is to connect 91�� graduate students with a librarian while providing additional research funding so they can explore a topic of their choosing.

This year’s recipients are Ubochi Igbokwe, a musicology PhD student who researches Igbo African masquerade music and the cultural impacts of the Igbo African émigrés in Japan, and Trevor Egerton, a history doctoral candidate studying race and outdoor recreation in the 20th century American South.
