Twice each year, the Faculty Steering Committee (FSC) of the Social Justice Research Institute (SJRI) invites applications for affiliation from Brock-based tenured and tenure-track faculty members, Emeritus Professors, professional librarians, LTAs, ILTAs, and post-doctoral fellows.
Affiliated Members are expected to share a commitment to social justice and transdisciplinary scholarship, and to involve themselves according to their capabilities in the governance of the SJRI by: putting their names forward for the FSC; attending the semi-annual general meetings; voting on affiliated membership, directorship, FSC membership, and changes to governance practices; serving on SJRI standing committees; and/or participating in and sharing information about SJRI events.
Affiliated Members are also eligible to:
- apply to be Principal Investigators on applications to the SJRI Grants Program;
- have access SJRI’s project facilitation and knowledge mobilization services and resources;
- propose motions to the FSC;
- propose and execute ideas for SJRI events, working groups, and workshops;
- attend FSC meetings as non-voting members.
Interested individuals may apply for SJRI affiliation by submitting the following information to sjri@brocku.ca by April 25, 2024:
- a one-to-two page statement of intent outlining the relevance of their research with explicit reference to the definitions of transdisciplinarity and social justice outlined on our website (https://brocku.ca/social-justice-research-institute/about/) and to their planned contributions to SJRI
- an up-to-date CV.
The FSC will review all applications and forward the names of recommended applicants to the wider membership for voting as part of SJRI’s next semi-annual general meeting, which will take place on May 15, 2024.
