American Voices Project
Recruiting for 2019-20 research fellows now
From the American Voices Project:
We’re writing to let you know about an exciting new fellowship
program for graduating seniors, current graduate students, new
Ph.Ds, and anyone who is committed to tackling our country’s most
pressing problems. This program is built around a new
project, led by top scholars from Stanford University and
Princeton University, that will uncover how the American Dream is
faring and how inclusive and opportunity-enhancing policy might
be designed.
We’re now recruiting a select group of research fellows to become
part of this study. The fellows will receive intensive training
and then visit communities across America to talk with families
about their lives, hopes, and dreams. It’s not a survey, it’s not
a poll, but an honest and open conversation that we’re holding in
all 50 states.
The fellows will then learn how to analyze the interviews with
the latest data science methods, identify the country’s emerging
problems, and begin the task of building 21st-century policy that
responds to the voices of the people. It will be a life-changing
experience that prepares the next generation of leaders in
academia, government, politics, nonprofits, and beyond.
The fellowship begins in June 2019 and concludes in August 2020.
We offer two application deadlines: January 7, 2019, and February
7, 2019. For more details, please check out our website!
