Non-academic Fellowships on Public Policy Issues Open Society Institute
We would like to alert you to a new Open Society
Institute (OSI) fellowship to support scholars, journalists, activists, policy
experts and others to work on projects that inspire public debate and shape
policy.
The Open Society Fellowship is open to individuals from around the world and we
are keen to identify candidates working on Southeast
Asia. The Fellowship focuses on four areas:
National Security and the Open Society; Citizenship, Membership and
Marginalization; Strategies and Tools for Advocacy and Citizen Engagement; and
Understanding Authoritarianism. We will also support a limited number of
fellows whose projects fall outside these areas but are germane to OSI's
mission. Fellows' projects may include books, articles, documentary films and
photography, online media, and efforts to seed new campaigns and organizations.
Proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis and there are no application
deadlines. The fellowship does not fund programs of study or dissertation
research.
