Each year, the Center for 21st Century Studies (C21) offers fellowships to UWM faculty and academic staff that provide the time, space and collegial support to generate new knowledge and ideas.
C21 is currently accepting applications from researchers whose work aligns with some aspect of the 2026-27 theme, Slow Action. The year of slow action will explore the practices, methodologies, histories and theories of collective organizing across communities and institutions, with a focus on building values-rooted systems and deliberate, actionable pathways that endure over time to support shared goals.
We welcome multiple interpretations of this open topic. The application deadline is Friday, Dec. 5, at 11:59 p.m. Questions? Email c21@uwm.edu.
