By Julia Smith Coyoli, Harvard Collegeand Paul Dosh, Macalester Faculty
What are the alternatives and challenges of faculty-undergraduate collaborative grants that contain scholar participation in all phases of the analysis course of? Drawing on interviews with comparative politics college members and undergraduate college students, this text discusses the themes of reciprocity, incentives, and “off-ramps.” First, we discover that an unequal division of labor may give approach to a extra mutual work dynamic as long-term initiatives unfold. Second, we contemplate the usage of incremental incentives to take care of scholar motivation. Third, we suggest the creation of exits to permit an undergraduate to depart a challenge early. Constructing on these themes, we argue that—with just a few safeguards—college members and undergraduate college students can profit from long-term collaborative initiatives, together with people who contain fieldwork or search to publish peer-reviewed articles.
