The CRJ Rundown

Applications due Monday, Feb 14 at 11:59pm

Apply to participate in a reading circle! Dr. Lynette Hammond Gerido is leading a reading circle on Racism, Health, and Genetic Discrimination, and Dr. Nick Camp and Dr. Jeffrey Morenoff are leading a reading circle on Policing. Reading circles consist of three 2-hour meetings in which a small group of MA, MPP, MPA and PhD students, postdocs, and faculty collectively explore a topic relevant to the study of race, (anti)racism, and racial justice. In reviewing applications, we aim to curate reading circles with diverse disciplinary perspectives and research interests. Selected individuals will receive a $250 stipend at the end of the semester for their participation.
