The Center for Urban Education (CUE) invites graduate students and community educators to apply for affiliation with the Center as student fellows. We envision an active community of interdisciplinary scholars who engage urban education concerns. Partnering with CUE provides fellows the opportunity to build collaborative research, share, discuss and develop ideas in urban education, foster and enrich collegiate teaching, and publish research and scholarly manuscripts.
Please review the application form below or at this link.
We seek individuals invested in pursuing opportunities to co-construct knowledge with a broad set of thinkers engaging, or interested in engaging, Black and Indigenous knowledge traditions. As a multidisciplinary space, we strive to be undisciplined. Fellows may also serve as program co-coordinators, consultants, session discussants and other kinds of interlocutors in our panels and talks (e.g., Lunch & Learns, CUETalks, CUESEF). Affiliation is open to all graduate students and community educators whose studies or research interests, teaching interests and/or service involve urban education, local struggle, and critical theory and methodologies.
Affiliation carries a one-year appointment with possible renewal. The CUE fellow affiliation will automatically expire after two years, unless the student/educator and CUE team mutually agree to continue the collaborative relationship and renew the appointment. If the fellow affiliation is renewed, that appointment may continue on a year-to-year basis with an annual review.
