About Us

The Advanced Research Collaborative (ARC) was established in 2013 by Chase Robinson (former President of The Graduate Center, CUNY) and Don Robotham, Professor of Anthropology at The Graduate Center, CUNY.

ARC extends the CUNY Graduate Center’s global reach and prominence as an international hub of advanced study. Through its fellowships, ARC embraces the vital work of eminent scholars both within and outside of CUNY. These scholars enter a stimulating interdisciplinary environment in which they conduct their own research, access the GC’s research centers and institutes, and collaborate with doctoral students and other leading scholars.
