[Themaintainers] OPEN TODAY: CALL FOR SUMMER RESEARCH FELLOWS

[Jessica Meyerson]

Dear Fellow Maintainers,

We are pleased to announce an open call for summer research fellows!

READ MORE BELOW AND PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!

The Maintainers are seeking up to three research fellows for August -
September 2021 to conduct literature reviews and landscape scans of
scholarship and practice-based initiatives that engage deeply in key topics
related to maintenance, repair, and infrastructure. We are especially
interested in these four questions:


   -

   How do race, ethnicity, and gender relate to maintenance?
   -

   What are some intersectional and multidimensional approaches to
   infrastructure planning and compensation for maintenance and care work?
   -

   What are the overlaps and tensions between maintenance and the
   environment?
   -

   How can business practices in areas such as accounting, finance, human
   resources, etc., contribute to humanistic and political goals of achieving
   a more caring and well-maintained world?


Compensation is $3500 per position, with half paid in early July, and half
paid upon submission of the final report/deliverables. This fellowship is
open to skilled applicants from a wide range of backgrounds -
practitioners, freelancers, and students are all encouraged to apply.

These fellowships will run from August 2021 to the end of September 2021.
The final report/deliverables will be due no later than October 8, 2021.
Please refer to the summer fellows webpage
<https://themaintainers.org/summer-fellow> for more details on how to apply.


We'll post the call on the Twitter account today - if you are active on the
platform, please consider retweeting!


Please reach out with any questions.


Kind regards,

Jessica
