SCHOLARS AT RISK FELLOWSHIP - NOMINATIONS SOLICITED
Each year, the Harvard Scholars at Risk Committee provides a fellowship
for at least one persecuted scholar to come to Cambridge for up to one
year. The risk of persecution may be related to the scholar's work, but it
may also be a consequence of the scholar's ethnicity, religion or
political opinions. The scholar is selected by an interdisciplinary
faculty committee that reviews nominations. Scholars, including writers
and public intellectuals, from any discipline represented at Harvard are
eligible. The scholar will be hosted as a visiting fellow in the
appropriate academic department.
Nominations for the fellowship are solicited from all members of the
Harvard faculty, staff and student body. The deadline for submissions is
Friday, December 17, 2004.
Nomination forms and details of the Scholars at Risk initiative, including
a list of the members of the selection committee, are available through
the University Committee on Human Rights Studies' Web site at
www.humanrights.harvard.edu. Fellowship submissions may be sent by e-mail
(humanrights(a)harvard.edu); fax: (617) 496-4950; or post: David Rubenstein
