and practitioners to confront pressing ethical questions of the time. Building on this tradition, the Center invites applications for the Ethics and Civics Postdoctoral Fellowship. This fellowship is housed in the Research & Design Studio, the Center’s innovation hub, and is designed to help a new generation of thinkers and practitioners translate ethical reflection and scholarship into practical contributions for
academia and public life. The Research & Design Studio:The Research & Design Studio (R&DS) is an interdisciplinary network that bridges research and pedagogy. Its current theme and focus are the ethical and political dimensions of disagreement: when it proves productive, how to rebuild a culture of principled disagreement, and how to navigate difference. Through this work, the R&DS seeks to strengthen civil discourse
in higher education and public life, bringing together faculty, students, researchers, and practitioners to explore how we can engage across differences more constructively. Community & Collaboration: The Ethics and Civics Postdoctoral Fellowship seeks to prepare the next generation of scholars to integrate practical ethics and civil disagreement into both their research and teaching as they begin their academic
careers. In addition to their individual research projects, fellows will develop pedagogical tools or practices during their time at the Center that can support their future teaching as well as contribute to the overall work of the R&DS and its Community of Practice. Fellows will work together with R&DS staff to ensure they are able to effectively translate their scholarship into practical outcomes. The fellowship
seminar will include opportunities to workshop both fellows’ research and pedagogy projects over the course of the year. The fellowship is renewable for a second year at the discretion of the Center. We plan to welcome three new and up to three returning fellows each year. FELLOWSHIP EXPECTATIONS We aim to build cohorts where fellows find valuable intellectual partnerships to support and spur their work. The ideal
