We are accepting application for the APSA Institute for Civically Engaged Research (ICER) at Tisch College until March 31. In preparation for the Institute, I am looking for good writing about civically engaged research that is relevant for political scientists, although not necessarily about political science per se.
Incidentally, ICER will not be mainly devoted to reading and discussing papers; it will be more like a workshop. But readings are useful for the organizers at least, and a few texts may be assigned.
A diversity of perspectives and agendas, methodologies, topic areas, and authors’ backgrounds and social identities is important.
I’ve got these but would welcome additional suggestions. (This post is a bleg.)
