Vincentian Center Fellows
Program
The Vincentian Center for Church and Society at St. John’s University
appoints faculty members from 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
biennial 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
professors are eligible and are named for a two-year term. After the
two years, they may be invited to continue serve as advisors to the
Center. Vincentian Center
Research Definition (Approved by Deans and Fellows, September
2002)
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.
