BEIRUT | iloubnan.info - February 03, 2012, 15h33
The Hariri Foundation-USA and the Harvard University Kennedy School of Government announced that applications for the Gebran G. Tueni Human Rights Fellowship are now being accepted from interested candidates; the application period starts on January 1, 2012 and closes on March 31, 2012.
This fellowship program is being sponsored through the generosity of His Excellency Saad R. Hariri in honor of Gebran G. Tueni, journalist, politician, and editor, who was assassinated on December 12, 2005.
The Gebran G. Tueni Human Rights Fellowship was established in 2009 at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy in the Kennedy School of Government to support the scholarship of human rights practitioners from Lebanon and Iraq. While in residence at the Carr Center, the fellows will advance their own work through research and study. In addition, the fellows will participate in the broader dialogue of human rights with Harvard students, faculty, and researchers. 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 eligible candidates 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.
