The Center for Engaged Scholarship Details
The Center for Engaged Scholarship is an organization, created by and for social scientists, who want the United States to be a more democratic, more egalitarian, and more environmentally sustainable societyOUR APPROACHWe use our skills as researchers and teachers to challenge the wrong ideas of the right-wing and to generate new ideas that can contribute to progressive change. Our first initiative is a dissertation fellowship for social science PhD students in the U.S. whose work can contribute to the change we seek.OUR PROJECTThe Center's initial project is our dissertation fellowship, but we intend to launch new initiatives in future years so the Center becomes an increasingly valuable resource for progressive scholars – and a champion for engaged scholarship in America.OUR FELLOWSHIPEach fellowship carries a stipend of $25,000 paid out over a 9 month period.OUR WORKWe track right-wing attacks on progressive scholars and provide support to those who want their students to encounter the best progressive ideas. We help build stronger connections between academics and progressive change agents.OUR GOALThe Center advances the idea that engaged scholarship can be excellent scholarship and that it is often superior to work that claims to be free of moral or political commitments. Our exemplary scholarship page provides examples of the kind of scholarship we seek to encourage. OUR SPONSORThe Center for Engaged Scholarship is a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives (http://communityin.org/)
