Limited Submissions: William T. Grant Scholars Program 2022

The William T. Grant Scholars Program supports career development for promising early-career researchers. The program funds five-year research and mentoring plans that significantly expand researchers’ expertise in new disciplines, methods, and content areas.

The Foundation supports research in two distinct focus areas: 1) Reducing inequality in youth outcomes, and 2) Improving the use of research evidence in decisions that affect young people. Proposed research must address questions that align with one of these areas.

CSDE’s Administrative Core is here to help on both internal and external grants – don’t hesitate to contact Belinda Sachs with questions (belindab@uw.edu) or if you have a grant you’d like to start planning, submit a planning form through our online portal we’ll work closely with you and with your home department.

Bennett and Colleagues Evaluate National Leadership Towards a Low-Carbon Future in the Arctic in New Paper

CSDE Affiliate Mia Bennett and co-authors from Erasmus University Rotterdam and Nord University recently published the first application of the just transition framework to the Arctic region. Combining data from multiple open-access sources, the authors create a model to ‘evaluate energy and equity aspects of Distributional, Procedural and Restorative’ justice (DeePeR). Their model results suggest normative leadership on a just transition for the Arctic comprises international climate contributions in line with carbon emission records and a commitment to both fair and green jobs.

New Article on Masters of Social Work Curriculum and Disability Justice by Berridge and Colleagues

CSDE Affiliate Clara Berridge, along with several co-authors, recently published a new article in the Journal of Social Work Education. The authors help address the need to integrate disability justice into Masters of Social Work curricula by describing the process and lessons learned as a team of partnering faculty and disability justice activists and arguing that the intersectional disability justice movement framework is needed to equip students to address urgent issues of social injustice.

Fowle Publishes New Article on Racialized Homelessness

CSDE Trainee Matthew Fowle authored a new paper on racialized experiences of homelessness in Housing Policy Debate. Through a literature review of historical and contemporary research, this article highlights the extensive history of homelessness among Black, Latinx, and Native American communities and finds evidence for racialized pathways into homelessness. The literature points to three primary systems of stratification that drive racial disparities in homelessness: racial economic inequality, housing discrimination and residential segregation, and the homeless response system.
