Nneka D. Dennie has been selected as a 2017-2018 recipient of the MIT School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences Diversity Predoctoral Fellowship. She will be affiliated with the Program in Women's and Gender Studies as she completes her dissertation, "(Re)defining Radicalism: The Rise of Black Feminism and the Politics of Respectability, 1831-1895."

The purpose of the Diversity Predoctoral Fellowships program is to enhance diversity in the School and to provide the Fellow with additional professional support and mentoring as they enter the field. The fellowships are intended to support scholars from a wide range of backgrounds, who can contribute to the diversity of SHASS and the higher education community. These Fellowships support graduate scholars for a 9-month appointment at MIT. They offer an opportunity for scholars who plan a career in higher education and have completed all other PhD requirements to finish their dissertations with access to libraries and faculty of the School.
