TWU Alumna earns American Council of Learned Societies' fellowship

June 24, 2022 - Texas Woman's University alumna Elizabeth Brownlow has earned the American Council of Learned Societies' Leading Edge Fellowship to serve as a Research and Communications Strategist at PowerSwitch Action.

Brownlow, who earned her Master's degree in English from TWU in 2015, is working on a PhD in American Cultural Studies at Bowling Green State University.

ACLS supports scholars in the humanities and interpretive social sciences at the doctoral and postdoctoral levels.

PowerSwitch Action is a national network organizing to realize and build multi-racial feminist democracies, and driving an agenda to bring the billions of dollars in local public investments under the oversight of the communities most impacted, to expand decision making and power to more of the residents in their regions, to support the building and growth of member-based organizations, and to fight corporate actors who use their power to extract and cause harm.

Brownlow will support PowerSwitch by advancing narrative strategy through collaboration with its campaigns, communications and research team; explore and document cultural strategies and organizational culture that advance its vision of a multi-racial feminist democracy; and develop strategies, tools, and reports that support campaigns, programs and experiments, including audience growth and advancement of our network’s narrative within key spaces of debate and discourse.
