About the Center
We’re social scientists who believe that the United States should be a more democratic, egalitarian, sustainable society.
Dissertation Fellowships
We created our dissertation fellowships to encourage engaged scholarship and the progress it supports.
Engaged Scholarship
Engaged scholarship advances social, racial, and environmental justice.
The Social Sciences are alive everywhere in our world.
Our goal is to encourage social scientists to use their research tools to create a more just, a more equal, and a more sustainable society.
CES Update
This has been an eventful year for our Center! We just completed the selection of our eighth cohort of fellows — bringing the total number of people we have supported to 49.
