Washington, D.C. — Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC is pleased to announce their selection as a host partner for the 2023 American Council of Learned Societies Leading Edge Fellowship program. Twenty-two nonprofit organizations were selected as hosts for these two-year fellowships, which pair recent PhDs in the humanities and interpretive social sciences with social justice organizations to advance initiatives including campaigns for voting rights, equal access to education, housing justice, and more.
