The fellowship provides a one-year residency as a sanctuary for the selected writers. It will be accompanied by a series of lectures, readings and other events that highlight the national artistic and political culture of the writer and address the global issues of human rights and free expression. It will include a stipend, relocation funds, and health benefits. Brown will aid the writer in the visa and relocation process and provide administrative support, office space on the Brown campus in Providence, Rhode Island, and equipment.
The deadline to submit nominations/applications is 15 February 2011. For more information, visit this link.
