*Call for Stone PhD Student Visitor Applications*

Harvard Kennedy School’s Stone Program in Wealth Distribution, Inequality,
and Social Policy seeks to forge connections between its affiliates and PhD
students at other institutions. To promote this aim, the program invites
applications to its Stone PhD Student Visitor initiative
<https://inequality.hks.harvard.edu/stone-phd-student-visitors>. Through
this initiative, doctoral students in the social sciences at other
universities will spend one to two days in residence at HKS. They will meet
with faculty and students, attend a seminar, and share a group meal. Recent
seminar speakers include economists Susan Athey, Susan Dynarski, and
Darrick Hamilton, political scientists Daniel Ho, Jamila Michener, and
James Robinson, and sociologists Cecilia Menjívar, Frederick Wherry, and
Christopher Wildeman; further information is available here
<https://inequality.hks.harvard.edu/seminar-archive>. The purpose of this
initiative is to promote intellectual exchange, identify possible research
synergies and new collaborators, and generate conversations across
disciplines and institutions.



*Resources*

The Stone Program will provide accommodations and cover travel and meal
expenses for visiting students. Students at institutions in the Boston area
will not receive accommodations, students at institutions in Massachusetts
but outside the Boston area or in states bordering Massachusetts will
receive accommodations for one night, and students at institutions in all
other U.S. states will receive accommodations for two nights.



*Eligibility*

Non-Harvard PhD students in the social sciences (especially, but not
limited to, economics, political science, and sociology) who study topics
related to inequality, wealth distribution, and social policy are
encouraged to apply. Applicants must be currently enrolled at a PhD program
at a university in the United States. Previous participants are not
eligible, but we welcome applications from previous applicants who have not
yet been selected to visit.



*How to Apply*

Applicants should submit
<https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6rOie3HcL954ej4> (1) their
CV, and (2) a 1-page description of their motivation for participating in
this initiative. These documents must be combined into a single PDF
document. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. All visits
will take place on Mondays. For questions, please contact
inequality at hks.harvard.edu.
