Description
The SAW Engaged Research Grants, offered by the Society for the Anthropology of Work (SAW), are designed to foster innovative, engaged research in the anthropology of work. The program prioritizes projects that center on community-based participation, advocacy, decolonizing methodologies, or activist anthropology. Applicants are expected to define what engaged research means for their project and clearly articulate the roles of partners or collaborators, ensuring that research is shaped through meaningful engagement rather than traditional, researcher-centered models.
