Berkeley Pubic Sociology Workshop

This summer the Berkeley Public Sociology Workshop is piloting the Berkeley Social Justice Fellowship, a new summer opportunity for Cal sociology graduate students interested in combining research and applied sociology. We're currently building a network of organizations through our alumni, grad students, and faculty. During the summer of 2012 we have identified seven organizations eager to host a graduate intern (see details in attached document). Alternatively, you may apply to work with an organization of your own choosing by submitting a letter of support from the organization detailing how your internship plan will contribute to its mission and work. If you are not able to secure the letter by the deadline (April 5), please let us know and we will consider granting extensions.  
f you think you might want to apply, please send an email indicating your interest to <nathaliemiller@berkeley.edu> as soon as possible so that we can gauge interest in this project. Formal applications should be sent to the same address by 5 pm on Thursday April 5 to <nathaliemiller@berkeley.edu>. The application consists of a CV or resume and a cover letter that explains:

(a) Your interest in working for an organization of your choice;
(b) How this work will contribute to social justice;
(c) How this work will contribute to your career.

Please feel free to send questions to the same email. And if you'd like to get involved or share organizational information, we'd love to hear from you. We'd like to get more people involved in organizing this initiative.
