On 21 January 2009 the Carr institute of human rights policy launched Gebran G. Tueni Human Rights Fellowship Program. The main aim of Carr is to safe guard the human rights by training the future leaders for the career in public service and to apply first-class research to the solution of public policy problems.The Carr runs many programs and fellowship programs.
Now it is time for Gibran G. Tueni Human Rights Fellowship Program 2012. The Hariri Foundation-USA and the Harvard University Kennedy School of Government are announcing applications for the Gebran G. Tueni Human Rights Fellowship. They are now being accepted from interested candidates.
The fellowship runs from September 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.
Candidates will be selected from a pool of English speaking scholars, journalists, writers, human rights activists or social scientists, from any ethnic or religious denominations, who have shown a demonstrated commitment to human rights and social cohesion in the Middle-East. Preference will be given to candidates who are human rights practitioners from Lebanon and Iraq. In the event that eligiblecandidates from Lebanon and Iraq cannot be identified, fellowships may be awarded to candidates from other Arab Middle Eastern countries.
Preference will also be given to well qualified candidates whose area of study/expertise coincides with Carr Center Programs and Initiatives.
Tueni Fellows will undertake a major research project focusing on a pressing human rights issue in one or more countries in the Middle East region. As with all Carr Center Fellows, Tueni Fellows are expected to contribute to the Center’s programs, and participate in broader dialogue with students, faculty and researchers in the Harvard community.
In particular, Fellows will be expected to lead at least two public seminars and be involved in the student community in some capacity, for example, by leading a study group or advising students.
Stipend will be available for up to two (2) fellows.
