PennPraxis has issued an open call for proposals for year two of Case Studies in Design, a collective writing project that creates opportunities for community and design leaders to think together about ways to catalyze transformational design, planning, and place-keeping from the ground up.

The goals are to learn from ambitious proj- ects designed in community, to share experience through a public library of case studies, and to train for new practices of creative, collective action. Case Studies in Design will support the development of five case studies per year over a period of three years.

Applications are being sought from people who would like to research and author a case study about an outstanding example of community-engaged practice, which will be published and disseminated in a variety of ways. Five case studies will be supported in 2025 with a fee and expense allowance of $50,000 per author or team.

For additional information, please read the open call. Applications are being accepted until April 24, 2025 at noon.
