Incarcerated Research Fellowship
The Work and Us is accepting applications for our inaugural cohort of the incarcerated research fellowship – a one year paid fellowship designed to train incarcerated people on participatory research methodology and application. The fellowship kicks off in August 2026. We are accepting applications from March through May 2026.
About the fellowship
The fellowship is designed to provide imprisoned people with the funding, training, mentorship, and resources needed to deepen their knowledge of participatory research methods, abolitionist theory, and the criminal legal system so they can contribute to movement scholarship. The first 6 months of the fellowship will revolve around our research curriculum while the second 6 months will be more hands-on as fellows design and execute their own research project on an issue related to parole.
