CITAP brings researchers together through its affiliate program
Affiliates at CITAP are faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers whose work asks common questions about democracy, politics, and platforms. The affiliate program creates community, offering space to workshop research, develop ideas, and connect with potential collaborators.
At CITAP, we value working collaboratively. Our goal is to bring together a diverse and engaged community working on related topics with a shared approach, and we err toward inclusiveness in inviting new affiliates. If you're wondering if your work "fits," check out our current affiliates or about us pages.
Affiliate membership with CITAP includes:
- Invitations to participate in CITAP events, including monthly research workshops and professional development talks and meetings with CITAP-hosted visiting speakers
- Access to an affiliate email list and discussion forum
- Use of CITAP’s coworking space in Manning Hall
- A listing on the CITAP website
- Opportunities to collaborate with other researchers through informal working groups, affiliate-organized sessions, and other ad hoc spaces in addition to our regular programming
- Promotion of your own work through CITAP’s newsletter, social media, and web site
Expectations of Affiliates:
The success of the affiliate program depends on active participation from affiliates. Whether it’s in offering feedback in our research workshops, co-organizing a working group on a specific topic, or participating in our professional development sessions to support students and junior researchers as they enter into public scholarship, we ask that all affiliates consider both what they plan to ask of the affiliate community and what they’re most able to offer.
As a baseline, we expect that active participation in the CITAP affiliate program requires a commitment of 1-2 hours per month.
