The ESPM Field Safety Committee is excited to announce the launch of our pilot Field Safety Gear Sharing Program this September! The gear sharing program will provide equipment such as Garmin inReach communication devices, first aid kits, safety vests and glasses, UC branded car magnets, dry bags, and heat safety gear at no cost. 

After conducting the 2024 Field Safety Surveys across RCNR and IB, ESPM’s Field Safety Committee identified an unaddressed need in trainings, resources, and safety equipment. The Field Safety Committee is currently addressing the desire for more information through providing resources online and hosting trainings each semester. We are addressing the need for more physical supplies and resources through this gear sharing program, which we hope helps all members of the ESPM community feel safer on field projects and promotes a culture of thinking ahead and going into the field better prepared. 

Applications for our academic year loaning period (September - March) are open NOW! We have limited supplies for the pilot stage of the program, so applications submitted before September 13th, 2025 will be ranked in accordance with program priorities, and additional applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. All members of the RCNR community (students, staff, and faculty) are eligible and encouraged to apply! You can find more information at the Gear Sharing Program website. 

If you have any questions or comments regarding the loan program, please contact Mel Baldino (melbaldino@berkeley.edu).

We look forward to providing our community with the gear that they need to ensure they are safe in the field!

Interdisciplinary Workshops for Bay Area Ethnographic Writers is Sponsored by the Center for Global Ethnography at the Institute for Research in the Social Sciences at Stanford University. This free workshop series aims to help post-field/dissertating doctoral students generate ethnographic prose and nurture new scholarly community whilst making progress towards their dissertations. The 2-day writing workshop and retreat will be in-person only. Free lunch, coffee/tea and snacks will be provided.

Workshop Participants will have an opportunity for peer-to-peer discussion of in-progress work and a cordial and relaxing atmosphere for writing and thinking. Participants will also have quiet, individual writing time. Expect to build community with other ABD students who may feel isolated from the intellectual community. A detailed programme will be shared with workshop participants.

ELIGIBILITY: All-but-dissertation (ABD) doctoral students of any discipline (humanities and social sciences) from any university located in the San Francisco Bay Area will be considered. Priority will be given to students whose dissertations include a tangible ethnographic component. Single rooms at the Stanford Guest house will be available for non-Stanford students. 

REGISTRATION: This form will ask for your basic information, a dissertation title and short abstract, and dietary restrictions. Please register here

LOCATION: Our venue will be the Institute for Research in the Social Sciences (IRiSS), tucked away in the wooded hills above Stanford.

To help defray travel costs to/from Palo Alto, we can offer participants a supplement in the form of a gift card, on request. Parking at IRiSS is free.

We look forward to hosting you!

Combining his own experiences with interviews with dozens of scientist-activists around the world, as well as insights from research on social change and direct action, the book explores the challenges academics face when taking a stand against systems of oppression. Racimo also describes how academic institutions are today complicit in exploitative and extractive logics, and how they could be transformed from the bottom-up, to become more democratic institutions that foster social and ecological well-being.

Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSC) Fellowships offer an exceptional opportunity to pursue post-doctoral fellowships at institutions across the European Union. The next submission deadline is September 9, and it is important to identify host mentors and institutions well in advance and work collaboratively to develop the proposal.

This year, UC Berkeley is initiating a pilot partnership with Maynooth University in Ireland to support the development of MSC fellowship applications. Maynooth is one of the campuses of the National University of Ireland with research strengths across multiple disciplines. Their core research areas are described here - see below for more guidance on identifying faculty interests.

This partnership is aimed at:

• Berkeley graduate students who will have received their PhD by Sept. 9, 2026, and current postdocs interested in MSC fellowships hosted at Maynooth,

• Berkeley faculty who would be interested in being matched with potential applicants from Maynooth.

For potential applicants and mentors, please register your interest via this link on the partnership page by Monday, May 4.

We will work with Maynooth to help match applicants and mentors, and the Maynooth research office will provide online workshops to support proposal development, and invite selected Berkeley applicants to visit Maynooth to finalize the proposals before the September deadline.

Additional information to navigate faculty interests at Maynooth:

• Navigate to the main Maynooth page https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/ 

  • Click on the menu at the top right, and go down to Departments: https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/departments 

  • Each department has a people page

• Navigate to the Research Centres and Institutes page https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/research/research-institutes  

I hope this opportunity will be of interest to some of our graduating PhD students and early career researchers.

The Graduate Division would like to share that when students file their thesis and dissertation with the Graduate Division, we have a longstanding tradition of giving our students a commemorative See’s Candy lollipop. 

Students are invited to stop by and pick up a lollipop in recognition of this important milestone:

318 Sproul Hall

Tuesday-Thursday

9am to 12pm & 1pm to 4pm

Students who no longer live in the area are welcome to have a trusted friend pick up their lollipop or reach out to us directly at degreesscans@berkeley.edu to request that it be mailed.

Please note that occasionally international addresses have lollipops returned to our office, and we do not resend. Due to capacity, those who would like a lollipop mailed and cannot pick it up themselves can expect it in the month of August.

Thank you, as always, for your partnership and support. Wishing you all ease and joy as we close out the spring term.
