The Practitioner Fellowships at the Digital Civil Society Lab (DCSL) welcomes applications for its 2024-2025 cohort. The fellowship supports civil society practitioners working to address racial, gender, class/caste, sexuality, and economic inequality in relation to technology.

Potential projects might include: designing tools to protect civil society actors and advance equity, developing policy frameworks to govern the use of data, prototyping tools to mitigate injustice in emerging technologies, or experimenting with new organizational structures focused on governance issues related to digital technologies. The fellowship provides time, space, expertise, and financial support to help turn ideas into prototypes or action, and fellows become part of a cohort and alumni network that thrive with access to an intellectual community.

Fellowships are supported by The Schmidt Family Foundation’s 11th Hour Project, The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, and other funders of the Lab.

**All fellows will receive:**

* A $25,000 stipend, paid at the beginning of the fellowship, to support work on an 18-month project
* Paid expenses to attend a week-long convening on the Stanford campus for fellows to meet and develop their project plan. Fellows will present their project plan as part of a “kick off” session. This “Fellows Week” is scheduled to take place in late February or early March 2024\.
* Mentorship from fellowship directors and access to fellowship alumni from previous cohorts
* Access to research staff to develop and extend their projects.

This region, in upper corsica, spans the land around the Bay of Saint-Florent, west of the cape and east of the balagne region. We’ll also consider applications for projects devoted to the broader north-west region of Corsica (Cape, Balagne, Nebbiu).

On the occasion of the upcoming 60th anniversary of the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair, this year’s Open Call invites applications that respond to the complex history of the Queens Museum’s site and Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Applicants are encouraged to join the Museum in critically engaging with the present-day implications of the Fair, which idealized American democracy by promoting industrial, international, and domestic cooperation through technology and culture. At the Fair, the Queens Museum building served as “The New York City Building,” a pavilion dedicated to the country’s most populated metropolitan community. The New York City Building envisioned the future of American cities, hosted the awe-inspiring _Panorama of the City of New York,_ and celebrated the rapid industrialization of New York City in the first half of the twentieth century.
