PhD 360: Community and Leadership

People build knowledge in community with others. Brown’s programs enable students to create community around common academic interests, identities, and values. These programs can also be opportunities for students to learn to lead.

Established in response to the recommendations of the Task Force on Anti-Black Racism, the Black at Brown [Graduate] Grant is a biannual award supporting graduate student–led projects that advance knowledge, care, and visibility for the Black diaspora at Brown University and, where relevant, in the greater Providence community.
The Swearer Center hosts several fellowships and work opportunities for graduate students. Please click the links below to learn more about current opportunities, application process, and deadlines. With questions regarding these opportunities, please contact Georgina Manok, Senior Director of Strategy and Assessment (georgina_manok@brown.edu).
