Fellows
We are proud of the community we create at PS2. Research funding is provided through: ERI/ PS2 Summer Fellowships and the CUNY Adjunct Incubator Grant.
CUNY Adjunct Incubator
The Center for the Humanities’ CUNY Adjunct Incubator, co-sponsored by the Gittell Urban Studies Collective, is a framework for supporting the significant scholarly, creative, and pedagogical work of adjuncts teaching in the humanities and humanistic social sciences across CUNY.
Providing social, logistical, financial, and professional support for the production and circulation of knowledge by CUNY adjuncts, this platform promotes the crucial work of part-time faculty across CUNY community and senior college campuses.
