Maria Dikcis Receives ACLS Leading Edge Fellowship

In June 2024, Maria was awarded an American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Leading Edge Fellowship, with placement at the nonprofit organization City Bureau. Her work will entail strengthening their research and storytelling capacities through multimedia content, amplifying the efforts of City Bureau and their national Documenters Network in supporting democracy and civic journalism.

The ACLS Leading Edge Fellowship Program, made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation, supports outstanding early-career PhDs in the humanities and interpretive social sciences as they take up two-year positions with social justice organizations in communities across the United States. The program facilitates and promotes the use of humanistic knowledge and methods to advance justice and equity in society.

Congratulations, Maria!
