Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning Student-Led Research Blog Series
Posted by The Michigan Journal of Community Service-Learning on October 21, 2025
In partnership with the Scholarship & Social Justice Undergraduate Research Conference at Harvard College, the Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning has published a series of research write-ups from emerging scholars who presented at the conference.
The Scholarship & Social Justice Undergraduate Research Conference at Harvard College was launched ten years ago as a joint project between the Phillips Brooks House Center for Public Service and the Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race relations to bring more attention to socially engaged research. It was 2015 and our deeply traditional research institution had yet to jump into the engaged scholarship movement with plans for a full program in engaged scholarship still a year or two off in the future. The students, however, were fully on board with this area of research–particularly those who were deeply immersed as activists and volunteers on and off campus. These student activist/scholars were already doing thesis and capstone research that integrated their interests in social change from an activist and intellectual perspective. We decided to amplify and honor their work by hosting a national conference featuring the work of undergraduate researchers taking a critical lens to research on understudied communities and issues related to marginalized communities.
