Candidates for this award are nominated by their department's graduate advisor, and Fellows are selected by the CSSS Graduate Committee. The Fellowship is named for Hubert M. Blalock, a leading sociological methodologist who was Professor of Sociology and Statistics at the University of Washington and a former President of the American Sociological Association.
