undergraduate fellowship 
​
(Call For faculty)

The UMass Center for Justice, Law, and Societies invites faculty applications (including from faculty not on the tenure track) for our summer undergraduate research fellowship. The purpose of this fellowship, which offers $5000 of summer funding, is to support a student in the Academic Fellows Program. This program serves undergraduate students who identify as first generation, BIPOC, and/or are from low-income families. With CJLS support, the awarded fellow will conduct original research with a faculty member, providing exposure to research design, methods, and publication. 
Look for upcoming opportunities in spring 2023

Previous Undergraduate Fellows
Picture
Summer 2022 marks the launch of a summer research assistantship developed by the Center for Justice, Law, and Societies (CJLS) and the Academic Fellows Program. This new initiative allows faculty members to mentor students from the AFP community on research projects, an important, high-impact practice that provides students with valuable skills for graduate school or employment. Through a competitive process, faculty members were selected to serve as mentors, and students were paired with a mentor who will help them complete a research project over the summer. Students will receive mentoring sessions with their faculty mentor, as well as research skills training through the Institute for Social Science Research and a $5,000 stipend, courtesy of a generous donation from two SBS alumni.

Participants in the inaugural cohort are:  
• Nicole Ojugbana & Laurel Smith-Doerr: Faculty Equity in Access to Centers and Institutes at UMass
• Xavier Aparicio & Cedric de Leon: A Constant Sorrow: The Black Freedom Struggle and Organized Labor in the United States
* Konah Brownell & Kelsey Whipple: Fight for Your Writes: Examining Journalistic Unions and Their Protection of Intellectual Labor
