Ph.D. program in Civil Society & Community Research at UW–Madison

[Announcement from SCRA-L]

Dear SCRA members,

We are currently accepting applications for the Ph.D. program in Civil Society & Community Research (CSCR) in the School of Human Ecology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The philosophy of the School of Human Ecology is that human development and well-being are promoted through the interactions between people and the ecological settings (organizations, social networks, communities) of which they are a part.

The CSCR program offers opportunities to conduct research in community settings, often in collaboration with community organizations or coalitions, and to become participant-scholars in change processes. Current students are involved in action research projects related to promoting positive youth development, civic engagement, health equity, primary prevention, youth-adult partnership, community organizing, and systems change. The CSCR program supports students to build expertise in mixed-methods research design that draws on theory from multiple disciplines. The University of Wisconsin–Madison is a dynamic research environment with leading graduate programs across the social sciences. It is also the state's land grant institution, and our faculty and students often conduct work in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin–Extension, offering additional opportunities for community-based research and outreach.

We are able to provide financial support for graduate studies through research and teaching assistantships that provide tuition remission and a stipend.

Applications must be received by: January 3rd, 2014 For additional information, please visit: http://www.sohe.wisc.edu/is/is-graduate-overview-of-degrees.htm
For questions related to the application process, please contact Liv Lindenberg [llindenberg@wisc.edu] For questions about the program, please feel free to contact me or other Human Ecology faculty.
