Research Fellowships
A UW System Center of Excellence, UW-Milwaukee’s Center for 21st Century Studies (C21) builds a community of scholars to address the pressing issues of our time. Each year, C21 offers fellowships to UWM faculty and academic staff that provide the time, space, and collegial support to generate new knowledge and ideas. C21 centers the humanities in its belief that innovation comes from diversity of opinions, disciplines, and experiences.
The call for applicants is typically released in October for the following academic year.
Collaboratories
C21 believes that the complex challenges we face in the 21st century are best met through collaborations across areas of expertise and experience, and that the humanities are a vital part of addressing these challenges.
Collaboratory funding is an opportunity to bring together teams of scholars across disciplines, across university and community partnerships, and across emerging and established scholars (students / staff / faculty) to inspire the generation of new ideas.
C21 Collaboratories provide opportunities to bring new, humanities-informed ideas and knowledge to many different audiences both on and off campus. Collaboratories are also foundational to the Center’s annual programming.
The call for applicants is typically released in February for the following academic year.
Graduate Fellowships
C21 Graduate Fellows are integral to the overall mission, execution of programming, and community outreach initiatives of the Center. These positions are open to students at the Master’s or Doctoral level. Working at C21 provides graduate students the opportunity to meet visiting scholars, attend C21 events, and gain experience planning and producing academic media, executing communication strategies, developing C21’s web presence, publicizing events, and assisting with grant applications.
The call for applicants is typically released in March for the following academic year.
