VAI-SSRC New York Prize Fellowship in Sustainable Cities and the Social SciencesVan Alen Institute Description: Van Alen Institute in partnership with the Social Science Research Council Deadline Extended: April 18, 2008 The New York Prize Fellowship in Sustainable Cities and the Social Sciences broadens the scope of traditional academic research, publishing, and conferences to innovative public projects that actively interrogate contemporary urban public life and the built environment. Van Alen Institute and the Social Science Research Council solicit proposals from scholars and practitioners in the social sciences and related fields for New York-based projects on the topic of sustainable cities. Proposals are welcome in a range of formats - such as workshops, roundtables, installations, and symposia – and VAI and the SSRC seek projects with a strong curatorial impulse that bring together social scientists and spatial practitioners in architecture, design, and related disciplines for debate and dialogue. Fellowship awards include project support up to $10,000, work and gallery space at the Institute, publication in Public Practice, stipend, and a range of project production, research and programming resources. Fellows are provided with the opportunity to pursue advanced research and to generate projects in a multidisciplinary workshop environment amidst architects and other spatial practitioners, to fully immerse themselves in New York City as both a resource and a research laboratory, and to actively participate in the Institute’s activities and programs.
