Ámaxa Research

We are launching a new pathway to build a grassroots research capacity that will support and amplify work of our partner nonprofits.

This pathway is designed for intellectually curious undergraduate students eager to finetune their research skills and for Masters or PhD students who are eager to utilise their research skills to effect tangible social change.

Our mission is to conduct, write, and publish original research on questions critical to work of our partner nonprofits and initiatives. Short-term objectives are to identify gaps in research pertaining to our 9 projects and their related topics and conduct research over 3-6 months. At a minimum, your work will be published on the ámaxa site, as we aim for our site to grow as a resource for robust non-academic research. However, we have already begun work to partner with academics who can offer mentorship in publishing ámaxa research pieces on think tanks, media outlets, and peer-reviewed journals. A long-term objective of this pathway is to conduct field research at sites of our partners in Uganda, Liberia, Poland/Ukraine, and Palestine.

As this is a new pathway, we will accept applications on a rolling basis and reach out to applicants if we believe it will be a good fit.
