CRDJ Fellows & Interns 

Growing the Collective

CRDJ collaborates globally with researchers, students, and emerging leaders through fellowships, internships, and other opportunities to contribute to our work.

​

There are many paths into the Collective. If you’re interested in joining CRDJ as a fellow, we invite you to get in touch and learn about current and future opportunities.

Fellows 

Researchers, scholars, and students who deepen CRDJ's work while developing research, leadership, and advocacy across racial and disability justice. 

 

This includes the Hudson-Primer Fellowship, an award sponsored by the Hudson-Primer Fund providing dedicated support for emerging and established researchers to deepen their work and contribute to the field.
