The Simone de Beauvoir Institute of Concordia University has created the Lillian Robinson Scholars program as a living memorial to Lillian S. Robinson, the late Principal of the Institute. The program provides two different awards each year to help offset travel, living and research expenses for scholars in residence at the Simone de Beauvoir Institute. Applicants for residencies under the Lillian Robinson Scholars program must be pursuing scholarship with a feminist orientation, although applications are accepted for work in any field(s) of inquiry. Applicants must have PhDs in hand, but need not be employed academics; awards are available to candidates at junior and senior career levels. Further details of the program qualifications, and an application form, are available from the Simone de Beauvoir Institute. If you would like to make a donation to support this program, please note:
