The Lender Center for Social Justice is accepting applications for a two-year faculty research fellowship focused on a contemporary social issue and ideas and pathways to address it.

Fellows receive research support for both years along with summer stipends and resources to implement the project and publicize findings. They work with an interdisciplinary team of student fellows and present the team’s work at the annual Lender Center Symposium.

Applications are due by Friday, April 12, at 5 p.m. Details about required materials and the submission process are available on the Lender Center website. Questions can be directed to lendercenter@syr.edu.

“We look forward to seeing new proposals that address pressing social issues,” says Kendall Phillips, interim director of the Lender Center. “Our faculty fellows and their student teams have taken up a wide variety of research questions and their work has generated interesting answers and valuable interventions.”

Last year, Nausheen Husain, assistant professor of magazine, news and digital journalism in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, was named the 2023-25 faculty fellow. Her project examines media coverage of Muslim people and communities and the impact of that reporting. The 2022-24 faculty fellow, Mona Bhan, associate professor of anthropology and Ford-Maxwell Professor of South Asian Studies in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, has been investigating how artificial intelligence weapons systems transform war and surveillance and how they affect social and political vulnerabilities to violence. Seyeon Lee, the 2021-23 fellow, led a project examining whether a building planned as a women’s wellness center in the City of Syracuse’s North Side neighborhood fulfilled its intended purpose. Two other fellowships have been awarded since the Lender Center Faculty Fellowship program began.
