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.

In response to the recommendations of the Task Force on Anti-Black Racism, this pilot grant supports programs and initiatives across campus initiated by graduate students that chiefly support the Black diaspora in the Brown University community, but also work to address or benefit the Black diaspora in the greater Providence community and beyond.
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).

Other opportunities for community and leadership at Brown:
