PZ Doctoral Fellows
PZ Doctoral Fellows
Fellows engage in and contribute to PZ’s intellectual community while advancing their independent doctoral work. They participate in PZ community meetings and discussion groups, make connections to PZ researchers and projects, attend at least two conferences or workshops, and present their work to the PZ community. Fellows receive regular mentorship and feedback through biweekly cohort sessions held at PZ. This program, aimed at supporting talented emerging scholars while enriching the critical dimensions of PZ’s ongoing research and professional development agenda, is generously funded by the Saul Zaentz Charitable Foundation, with additional support from the Firehouse Fund.
The application process for PZ Doctoral Fellows program is open to Harvard Graduate School of Education and other Harvard University doctoral students. Applications will open in early spring of 2026. Decisions will be announced by April 15, 2026. For questions, please contact Liz Dawes Duraisingh, Co-Director, Project Zero.
