The Taylor Research and Scholarship team supports researchers working to advance knowledge and understanding of the fields of social innovation and changemaking.

Participants during the movement-based session

Our Work

Our work consists of connecting and cultivating a community of changemakers at regular writing and research-themed social innovation conversations; sharing our own knowledge through monographs, reports and publications and helping to circulate manuscripts, peer-reviewed publications, and presentations from our colleagues and community; and supporting researchers with project funding and writing retreats.

All scholars are welcome: faculty members, students, community-based researchers, and emerging and established scholars from any academic discipline.

Program Overview

Research and Scholarship News

Rafe Steinhauer looks at his computer while sitting at a desk near several desks of fellow writers at one of Taylor's Silent Scholar's Retreats.

Writing Retreats

Our structured, silent Writing Retreats help all writers write more and connect with other writers. We sponsor 1-day social-innovation-themed writing retreats in the New Orleans area.

    • Enjoy a supportive setting built around the “pomodoro method” with 6-8 blocks of silent individual writing, plus breaks, during the day.
    • We invite faculty, scholars, staff, graduate students, community organizations, and practitioners.

Social Innovation Conversations

Social Innovation Conversations are 1-2 hour conversations over lunch with scholars, educators, and practitioners to learn and advance our understanding of the how, why and what about social innovation research. 

Publications

The Research and Scholarship team’s Taylor Provocation Series are thought-provoking monographs about the field of changemaking in higher education and social innovation generally.
