CASBS Announces 2021-22 Fellows

Members of the 2021-22 CASBS class conduct research in a variety of fields in the social and behavioral sciences and cognate disciplines: anthropology, applied behavioral science, communication, computer science and engineering, cultural studies, economics, education, history, information science, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, public affairs, public policy and urban studies, science writing, and sociology.
The class also embodies the full range of diversity – of age, ethnicity, gender, and race – that has been a CASBS signature feature for many years but especially under the directorship of Margaret Levi, which began in 2014.
Five fellows are Stanford faculty: Michael Bernstein (computer science), Lauren Davenport (political science), Anna Grzymala-Busse (political science), Hakeem Jefferson (political science), and Amalia Kessler (law).
“Each academic year, CASBS renews itself as an intellectual community like no other,” said Sally Schroeder, the Center’s associate director. “So much of the revitalization depends on CASBS attracting superb cross-disciplinary thinkers who interact in ways that make the fellows cohort so much greater than the sum of individual minds. And this is the hallmark of the program. We’re delighted with the class of 2021-22, and are confident that it extends our tradition.”
It is possible that one or more fellows will be added to the class in the coming months. Though uncertainties related to the COVID pandemic persist, the Center expects that most, if not all, aspects of the 2021-22 fellowship program – including its residential aspects – will proceed without delay or disruption.
Several fellowships are funded by some of the Center’s partner fellowship programs. The Science and Technology Policy Research and Information Center (STPI) within the National Applied Research Laboratories of Taiwan (NARLabs), a federal government agency, will support two Stanford-Taiwan Social Science fellows (Sufen Chen, Chung-li Wu). This is the sixth consecutive year fellows at CASBS under this partnership. For the third consecutive year, the Chinese University of Hong Kong will support one CUHK-Stanford University CASBS fellow (Laikwan Pang). This is the third year the National University of Singapore will support a NUS Fellow (Eduardo Araral). And the Center will host its second STIAS-Iso Lomso fellow (Arcade Ndoricimpa) based on a collaboration with the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study, South Africa.
In addition to fellows, the Center has three other appointment designations: visiting scholars (academics who are spouses/partners of fellows), research affiliates (non-Stanford scholars who lead CASBS-based projects), and faculty fellows (Stanford faculty who lead CASBS-based projects). The Center will finalize these appointments by late spring or summer.
