------------------
I'm the Core Program Coordinator at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet &
Society at Harvard University and we've just
announced our open call for fellowship applications
for the
2018-2019 academic year. We're a public interest research center and
community working to explore the Internet and new digital developments,
touching a broad range of topics I know are of great import to people in the
this community.
Fellowships at the Center are opportunities for those who wish to spend
2018-2019 in residence in Cambridge, MA as part of the our vibrant community
of research and practice, and who seek to engage in collaborative,
cross-disciplinary, and cross-sectoral exploration of some of the Internet's
most important and compelling issues.
Fellows are supported in an inviting and playful intellectual environment - we
have community activities designed to foster inquiry and risk-taking, to
identify and expose common threads across fellows’ individual activities, and
to bring fellows into conversation with the faculty directors, employees, and
broader community at the Berkman Klein Center.
We invite applications from people working on a broad range of opportunities
and challenges related to Internet and society, which may overlap with ongoing
work at the Center and may expose our community to new opportunities and
approaches. We encourage applications from scholars, practitioners,
innovators, engineers, artists, and others committed to understanding and
advancing the public interest who come from -- and have interest in --
countries industrialized or developing, with ideas, projects, or activities in
all phases on a spectrum from incubation to reflection.
To make fellowships a possibility for as wide a range of applicants as
possible, in the 2018-2019 academic year we will award a small number of
stipends to incoming fellows. This funding is intended to support people from
communities who are underrepresented in fields related to Internet and
society, who will contribute to the diversity of the Berkman Klein Center’s
research and activities, and who have financial need.
*Applications will be accepted until Wednesday January 31, 2018 at 11:59 p.m.
Eastern Time.*
I invite you to check out our full call
, which
has more information about our community activities and the application
process. Please feel most welcome to share this info with others who you
think might have interest. And if there are any questions, please feel most
welcome to reach out to me or Becca Tabasky, (copied on this email) our
Manager of Community Programs.
All best,
Daniel
