2003 Philanthropy Fellows' Workshop
Published on: Jan 13, 2004

The Fourth Annual fellows' workshop was held November 18th and 19th, 2003 in conjunction with the Annual meeting of the Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA), in Denver, Colorado. The workshop was again jointly organized by the SSRC, the Aspen Institute Nonprofit Sector Research Fund, and the Indiana University Center on Philanthropy, and included fellows from SSRC and Aspen. The workshop gave fellows the chance to receive feedback on and improve their dissertations, to interact with students participating in other programs, to meet faculty in their field, and to participate in the annual ARNOVA meeting.

The two-day workshop was organized around presentations by the fellows of their dissertation work. Faculty served as discussants, providing comments to each of the fellows, and moderating the very active discussions that followed. The faculty who directed the workshop were Kirsten Grønbjerg, (environmental affairs), Indiana University; David Hammack (history), Case-Western Reserve University; and Richard Steinberg (economics), Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis.
