This fall, a new cohort of seven graduate students will participate in ISSI's Graduate Fellows Program: Diana Casanova, Akilah Favors, Fabián Fernández, Nate Gong, Brenda Mathias, Brie McLemore, and Karen Villegas. The Graduate Fellows Program provides two years of training and mentorship to an interdisciplinary mix of advanced graduate students who are in the midst of dissertation research and writing. The new Fellows come from a range of fields: Education, Jurisprudence and Social Policy, Medical Anthropology, Social Welfare, and Sociology. Their projects tackle a variety of pressing issues related to race and class in the US, including policing, gentrification, and immigrant naturalization. The new cohort of Fellows will join six returning Fellows.
