The Center for the Study of Race and Democracy's Student Fellows Program is an opportunity for both undergraduate and graduate students to engage in research at the intersection of civil rights, race, and democracy. Under the guidance of the CSRD team and faculty fellows, student fellows develop research projects on a topic of their choice that aligns with CSRD's mission. The program culminates in the CSRD Student Fellows Research Symposium, where students share their findings with the UT and greater Austin community. The 2020–21 cohort worked diligently during the pandemic to create impactful social justice research for the inaugural symposium. Their dedication is representative of the academic excellence espoused at the CSRD, the LBJ School, and The University of Texas at Austin.
