In addition to Fellowships, the center offers other opportunities for interested parties to get involved. Here, you’ll find our current calls for proposals for papers related to our current theme as well as opportunities for participating in conferences.
Story Cart: Trust & the Vote
C21’s mobile Story Cart is designed as a site for exchange, collaboration, and learning through story. Each year the Story Cart will focus on a theme that is part of C21’s extensive programming (podcasts, roundtable discussions, online resources). The C21 team designs a survey that invites stories in response to that theme. C21 hires and trains students to accompany the Story Cart to a range of locations across Milwaukee. Stories might be shared through drawings, video, or audio recordings.
From spring to summer of 2024, the Story Cart will focus on issues of trust and the voting process.
If you’re interested in hosting the mobile StoryCart at your organization or event, please email C21@uwm.edu.
Midwest Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference (MIGC)
The Center is co-sponsor of the annual Midwest Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference, a forum that gives graduate students valuable experience in presenting their work publicly and in mastering the give-and-take of academic question and answer sessions. Further information about the conference can be found on themigc.org
