Munroe Center for Social Inquiry

The Munroe Center for Social Inquiry at Pitzer College promotes interdisciplinary research and public discussion of important issues concerning society, cultures, and public policy. Each year the Center sponsors a themed series of events, including lectures, seminars, panel discussions, exhibitions, screenings and/or performances. Students of the Claremont Colleges can apply to be Student Fellows of the Center for each spring semester. MCSI Student Fellows enroll in MCSI 195 PZ (Advanced Seminar in Social Inquiry), which involves attending all of the spring events of the Center, small group meetings with the Center’s visiting speakers, and the preparation of a semester long research paper or media presentation. The position of Student Fellow in the Center is limited to 18 students, with 12 spaces reserved for Pitzer students and up to 6 spaces available for students from the other Claremont Colleges. Applications are available from the Dean of Faculty’s office and on the Center’s website and are due in Nov. 2013. In the spring of 2014, the Center’s theme of inquiry is Technology. The Director for 2013-14 is Professor Alexandra Juhasz. For more information about the Center, see www.pitzer.edu/mcsi.
