Overview
The Center for Engaged Scholarship exists to strengthen the impact of progressive social scientists on U.S. public policy. Neoliberalism rests on the idea of an economy that produces commodities — standardized, mass-produced items, transferred in a single encounter. However, most economic transactions now involve nonstandard goods and services with ongoing relations between buyers and sellers. Power differentials emerge in such transactions, resulting in domination and exploitation. This grant will support our efforts to generate work by both early stage and mature scholars that develop effective alternatives to neoliberalism.
