Vincentian Center Fellows

Program

Research Fellows

The Vincentian Center for Church and Society at St. John’s University appoints faculty members for the six colleges of the University to serve as Research Fellows. The Fellows, through both individual specialized research and through interdisciplinary projects advance the goals of the Vincentian Center to further social justice, address issues of poverty, and facilitate dialogue between science and religion. The Fellows arrange for educational programs for the University community and the metropolitan area and assist in the planning and sponsorship of the Center’s bi-annual Poverty Conference. To be named a Center Fellow, a professor must be recognized for both effective teaching and scholarly research and must be recommended by his/her respective Dean. Tenured and untenured faculties are eligible and are named for a two-year term. After the two years, they are invited to continue serve as advisors to the Center.

Definition:

In keeping with the Vincentian tradition of concern for the poor and marginalized in society, the Vincentian Center for Church and Society conducts interdisciplinary research aimed at identifying and responding to the causes of poverty and social injustice, particularly in urban areas. The Center encourages solutions which are adaptable, effective and concrete, and which embody the spirit of compassion and service exemplified by the life of St. Vincent de Paul. The Center supports research which can enlighten public discourse on issues of justice and poverty and which can contribute to the development of effective public policy initiatives.
