The Institute for the Study of Human Rights (ISHR) at Columbia University is seeking applications for its Alliance for Historical Dialogue Fellowship Program. The fellowship program will be held from 2 September 2015 to 18 December 2015. The fellowship program provides opportunity to engage in training, networking, project work, and academic study in historical dialogue and related fields.
The comprehensive program provides fellows with the opportunity to hone practical skills in fundraising, advocacy and leadership, which helps to develop a deeper understanding of dealing with the past, and to foster mutually beneficial relationships with their peers and with international and non-profit organizations.

AHDA brings together scholars, students, and representatives of civil society organizations, journalists, educators and artists, as well as policy makers and others who work on historical dialogue issues in conflict, post-conflict and post-dictatorial societies.
