The David B. Baker Fellowship in the History of Psychology

Dr. David Baker, a historian of psychology and Emeritus Director of the Cummings Center for the History of Psychology, has served as an important mentor for students interested in studying history. Throughout his career, he encouraged students to engage with history by making use of the vast collections of the Archives of the History of American Psychology.

 

The David B. Baker Fellowship in the History of Psychology supports student research at the Archives of the History of American Psychology. The Fellowship supports travel expenses for one graduate or undergraduate student whose research will benefit from access to the Archives’ collections. One Fellowship of up to $2500 will be awarded annually.

All applicants must

• be currently enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program

• A project description, including a clear and detailed statement of how the Archives will be helpful to your research (500 words max). The extent to which the Archives will benefit the project will be the main criteria for evaluation.
