Fellowships

Maintainers Fellowships bring together diverse groups of scholars, practitioners, and activists to build and grow the field of maintenance thinking and action. An essential part of our mission is to encourage the development of a community of practice and scholarship around maintenance, care, and repair. Fellows learn together, develop writing and programming, and share their work and ideas with a broad public audience.
