About the Sam Dubal Fellowship Award
This Fellowship honors the legacy of Sam Dubal, M.D., Ph.D., an anthropologist, activist, medical doctor, professor, a beloved contributor to many vibrant intellectual communities, and an alumnus of our Department. Sam courageously centered the struggle against structural violence--including the everyday violences of colonialism and racism--in his thinking and in his scholarly research and writing. Recipients of the Sam Dubal Fellowship are scholars who are recognized to embody some of Sam’s attributes: including his prodigious discipline and work ethic, his caring membership in academic and activist communities, and his commitment to getting the empirical facts right, as well to their meaningful and comparative analysis. This fellowship was made possible through a generous donation from the Dubal family.
