The institute will be held from July 31 to August 2 at the University of California, Berkeley. This summer institute will bring together faculty and practitioners interested in developing the capacity to do engaged research in partnership. This dynamic and interactive institute will give participants\u201410 researchers and 10 practitioners\u2014the chance to learn to work together on research projects that help practitioners advance their strategic goals.<\/p>\n<p>The institute will focus on articulating the benefits of building research partnerships between \u00a0academics<\/p>\n<p>and organizers, developing the capacities needed among both academics and organizers to work together, and creating the opportunity for researcher-organizer pairs to work directly on a project of interest. The institute seeks to reframe how graduate students and early career scholars understand their role as researchers, focus on the ways engaging with practitioners can deepen and improve their theorizing about the socio-political world, and also help practitioners and scholars develop a common language in order to engage as equal partners in the research process.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers and practitioners with similar interests and goals will either be paired by CDO, or can apply as a pair.<\/p>\n<p>This institute is funded thanks to grants from the Ford Foundation and Open Society Foundations. Travel\u00a0(U.S. domestic economy-class round-trip airfare), food,\u00a0and lodging will be covered for accepted applicants. In addition, participants will be eligible to apply for seed funding of up to $5,000 from CDO to carry out research projects conceived and developed through the institute.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m posting the following announcement with my enthusiastic recommendation.
