PhD: Fellowship for Historical Dialogue and Accountability, Columbia University‏

Columbia University invites practitioners of Historical Dialogue and Accountability / Dealing with the Past from Africa, Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe, the Middle East and South and Southeast Asia to apply for the Fellowship for Historical Dialogue and Accountability.

The Institute for the Study of Human Rights (ISHR) at Columbia University is establishing an innovative new program – the Fellowship for Historical Dialogue and Accountability. Practitioners of historical dialogue and accountability from conflict, post-conflict and post-dictatorial societies will have the opportunity to engage in training, networking, project work, and academic study. The comprehensive program provides Fellows with the opportunity to hone practical skills in fundraising, advocacy and leadership, develop a deeper understanding of dealing with the past, and foster mutually beneficial relationships with their peers and with international and non-profit organizations in New York City. During the Fellowship participants will design a project that addresses a long standing sectarian conflict, history of repression or past gross human rights violations in their society, country or region.
The program is part of the Alliance of Historical Dialogue and Accountability; see http://hrcolumbia.org/ahda

Deadline: April 15th, 2012.
