About the GSA Program

The Graduate Student Associates (GSA) program was created in 1970 and is one of the Center's oldest and most valued programs. Currently directed by Weatherhead Faculty Associate Erez Manela, professor of history, the program welcomes applicants from any of Harvard's graduate and professional schools. The Center supports more than twenty doctoral candidates from advanced degree programs that include African and African American studies, anthropology, architecture and urban planning, the classics, government, history, history of science, law, public policy, religion, and sociology.

The goal of the GSA program is to provide a supportive and stimulating interdisciplinary environment in which promising graduate students can interact with one another, as well as with faculty, visiting scholars, and experienced practitioners at the Center, as they complete their dissertations and begin their transition to professional careers.
