The Human Rights Center awards summer fellowships to students of the
University of California to work with human rights organizations in the
United States and abroad.
Fellowships enable students to build connections between their academic studies and complex issues in the field.
Student fellows have come from a wide range of disciplines, including
anthropology, political science, law, environmental science, public
policy, public health, and medicine. Some fellows have learned how to
design and implement grassroots advocacy campaigns on behalf of the
landless, poor, or urban workers in Asia, Africa, Central America, and
the United States. Others have helped draft legal briefs on behalf of
political asylum seekers in the United States, worked with the
International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda,
campaigned for adequate medical care for AIDS victims in Russia, or
worked with organizations fighting for the rights of farmers displaced
by the construction of large dams in India.
The deadline for 2013 fellowships will be February 21, 2013.
