Summer Institute: Revolutionizing Research for Social Change

George Mason University is excited to host its second annual Summer Research Institute, Revolutionizing Research for Social Change, June 5-9, 2023. Too often, the standard tools of social science research reproduce the very systems of power and subjugation social science seeks to understand and change. Thus, during this week-long (in-person; Virginia) workshop on anti-racist and decolonizing research methods, students will develop and engage research tools to revolutionize social science inquiry.

During this Summer Research Institute, participating fellows will:
*       Explore the racial and colonial history of social science research methods.
*       Examine the connections between power and knowledge.
*       Develop tools for ethical, equitable and inclusive research practice as researchers.
*       Create research protocols grounded in anti-racist and inclusive practices.
*       Learn and share strategies for equitable and transparent research partnering with historically marginalized communities and groups.
*       Build skills in participatory and community-based research practice for change in policy and practice.
*       Grow peer networks and connect with research mentors for ongoing collaboration beyond the workshop.

Who Should Apply?
M.A. and Ph.D. students, and advanced undergraduates with interest in careers in social science research (or related humanities fields). We strongly encourage students entering M.A. or Ph.D. programs or in the early stages of these programs to apply.

There are NO registration, housing, or meal costs associated with this program.
