Description
The Carr Center Fellowships at Harvard Kennedy School provide an opportunity for policymakers, researchers, post-doctoral scholars, and practitioners to spend a semester or full academic year in residence at Harvard advancing research on urgent human rights topics. Fellows contribute independent research in areas such as racial justice, nonviolent action, transitional justice, and especially the intersection of technology and human rights, including the ethical and rights-based challenges posed by technological innovation and artificial intelligence.
A signature component of the program is the Technology and Human Rights Fellowship, which specifically supports research on the implications of technological advancements for human rights and governance. Fellows are expected to participate actively in seminars, events, and collaborative initiatives, and to produce scholarly or policy-relevant outputs.
