Center
on Philanthropy and Civil Society (CPCS), The
Graduate Center, CUNY is soliciting applications
for faculty and doctoral-student fellowships for
the 2004-2005 academic year on the topic of Civil
Society, Government, and Governance. CPCS provides
an interdisciplinary forum for the exploration
of issues surrounding the roles of different gender,
racial, ethnic, religious and economic groups
in organizational development, social reform,
and the emergence of civil society around the
world. The Center is initiating a two-year project
to bring advanced graduate students and faculty
together to explore a specific theme within this
framework. Fellows will present their own work
and examine the work of others in bi-weekly
seminars over the course of the academic
year. The Center will also invite other scholars
who have done significant work on the annual theme
to present their work in the seminar and in a
public lecture.

Civil Society, Government, and Governance
is the theme for the 2004-2005 academic-year
Fellowship. Beginning in the 1990s, there was a
general euphoria over the future of civil society
and civil society organizations [CSOs], which were
lauded for their presumed ability to fund social
capital and to democratize the actions of the state.
(Examples of CSOs would include voluntary associations,
nonprofits, community-based organizations, NGOs,
social reform groups, and transnational private
voluntary organizations.) In many countries, these
groups were increasingly asked to bear the burden
of social welfare programs as national bureaucracies
contracted with government retrenchment and privatization.
At the same time, they began to receive growing
recognition from organizations such as the United
Nations and the World Bank, efforts that underscored
the growing importance of transnational CSOs as
political actors. |
| |
|
| |
In the
process, many untested assumptions about the value
of these organizations were integrated into public
policymaking. This interdisciplinary seminar will
examine the political roles of civil society organizations
from a variety of viewpoints and disciplines.

The Center
on Philanthropy and Civil Society will appoint
eight faculty fellows and five graduate-student
fellows for the 2004-2005 academic year. Fellows
will be drawn from the social sciences and humanities.
Faculty Fellows will receive one course release
time for the year of their fellowship, and Doctoral
Fellows will receive a stipend of $5,000. All
full-time CUNY faculty members are eligible for
the Faculty fellowships (release-time awards are
subject to departmental approval); level III GSUC
students are eligible for Graduate fellowships.
