Why Apply? Hear from some former fellows on why they decided to apply to the G+JI Fellowship.

"I am excited about meeting other researchers, and getting advice about how to publish my findings."
"I applied to the Fellowship to support my doctoral work and as an additional forum for connection and interdisciplinary collaboration around a shared goal of justice."
"I felt it would be an honor to pursue further study under this fellowship at Georgetown, and institution committed to creative and long lasting solutions."
"My scholarship operates at the intersection of gender, race, law, and technology, and the prospect of growing in that work alongside creative, interdisciplinary colleagues at Georgetown thrills me! Gaining interdisciplinary perspectives on my own work from colleagues and celebrating the innovative work that others are doing across campus."
"I am most excited about the synergy and connection that I anticipate the G+JI Fellowship will foster. I am grateful for the leadership the G+JI team has demonstrated at this wonderful but still deeply patriarchal university. As a Catholic institution, we have a foundation in liberation and justice, and yet a challenge in carrying centuries of marginalizing the voices of women. I've attended several G+JI programs and find the community uplifting, and the content consistently provocative and important."
"I am thrilled to focus on my project, with the support of a community of people engaging with similar study. While working alone offers focus, being part of team gives shape and creativity to an idea. One little zinnia is sweet, but when it stands in a garden of many flowers, its beauty is multiplied!"
