麻豆免费版下载Engage is excited to announce our 2016-17 cohort of Community-Based Research (CBR) Graduate Fellows.
Spanning six diverse disciplines including Psychology, Sociology, Education, Mechanical Engineering, Geography, and Technology, Media and Society (ATLAS), the latest group of CBR Fellows will be conducting research in partnership with community organizations to address complex public challenges.
鈥淚'm really looking forward to working with the other fellows to learn more about their projects and to get feedback from them about my project as it unfolds,鈥 says new CBR Fellow Chris Bopp, a doctoral student in Technology, Media and Society (ATLAS).
鈥淪ince this type of research deserves careful attention to the needs and perspectives of diverse sets of stakeholders, having a community that can help you think things through from as many different perspectives as possible, in my opinion, is crucial to doing this type of work well.鈥
