Description
The Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights at Harvard Kennedy School offers year-long fellowships for individuals advancing human rights through scholarship or practice. The program brings together scholars, practitioners, and leaders to build intellectual partnerships and engage with public lectures, study groups, conferences, and workshops. The general Carr-Ryan Center Fellowship provides opportunities for research and writing, auditing classes, meeting faculty and experts, and leading student study groups.
Focused fellowships address racial and economic equity, global LGBTQI+ peoples and rights, and the effects of technological advances on human life and human rights protections. A separate LGBTQI+ Student Leadership Fellowship supports current Harvard graduate students working on LGBTQI+ issues. The Center seeks fellows who actively invest time and energy in building a community with their cohort.
