CASBS Announces Class of 2016-17

The class of 2016-17 includes 38 fellows, seven research affiliates, and five visiting scholars.

The incoming class represents a diversity of fields within the social and behavioral sciences: anthropology, communication, earth sciences, education, geography, history, language and literature, law, medicine, philosophy, political science, psychology, public health, public policy, and sociology.

More than 20 U.S. and six international institutions and programs are represented.

Several fellows will be supported by our partner fellowship programs: five Berggruen Fellows (Berggruen Philosophy and Culture Center), one Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellow, one William T. Grant Scholar, one Mindset Scholars Network Fellow, and one Stanford Cyber Initiative Fellow.

In addition to this year’s cohort of fellows, research affiliates, and visiting scholars, at least two formally organized groups of collaborative scholars will continue to use the Center as their research base: the Mindset Scholars Network, which studies and promotes a growth mindset to enhance learning and achievement; and the Berggruen Philosophy and Culture Center, which explores both the theory and the practice of cross-cultural ideas concerning key questions of our time.
