Undergraduate Fellowship in Disability Policy
As society's understanding of disability policy develops, new research questions about the needs, experiences, and unmet needs of people with disabilities will arise. Tackling those questions requires new ways of conceptualizing disability as a social, political, cultural, and medical phenomenon. To develop the next generation of disability-policy scholars, the Lurie Institute for Disability Policy has created the Undergraduate Fellowship in Disability Policy. Established in 2019, the fellowship offers Brandeis University undergraduate students the opportunity to develop research skills and expand their knowledge of disability policy through direct research training with established Lurie Institute investigators. As of spring 2021, we have trained twenty fellows.
The 2022–2023 undergraduate fellows are Alexander Cheetham, Sarah Davidson, Josh Gladstone, Max Lerner, Sammy Shortall, and Ruby Siegel.
