[Air-L] Berkman Klein Center Now Accepting Applications for 17-18 Fellowships

[Daniel Oyolu]

Hello everyone,

The Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University 
<http://harvard.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ef13e6d75b74b1791f13115cd&id=69555502f8&e=713200df58> 
is now accepting fellowship applications for the 2017-2018 academic year 
through our annual open call 
<http://harvard.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ef13e6d75b74b1791f13115cd&id=77944a3e29&e=713200df58>.

This opportunity is for those who wish to spend 2017-2018 in residence 
in Cambridge, MA as part of the Center's vibrant community of research 
and practice, and who seek to engage in collaborative, 
cross-disciplinary, and cross-sectoral exploration of some of the 
Internet's most important and compelling issues.

The Berkman Klein Center’s fellowship program encourages and supports 
fellows in an inviting and playful intellectual environment, with 
community activities designed to foster inquiry and risk-taking, to 
identify and expose common threads across fellows’ individual 
activities, and to bring fellows into conversation with the faculty 
directors, employees, and broader community at the Berkman Klein Center.

We invite applications from people working on a broad range of 
opportunities and challenges related to Internet and society, which may 
overlap with ongoing work at the Berkman Klein Center and may expose our 
community to new opportunities and approaches. We encourage applications 
from scholars, practitioners, innovators, engineers, artists, and others 
committed to understanding and advancing the public interest who come 
from -- and have interest in -- countries industrialized or developing, 
with ideas, projects, or activities in all phases on a spectrum from 
incubation to reflection.

To make fellowships a possibility for as wide a range of applicants as 
possible, in the 2017-2018 academic year we will award a small number of 
stipends to incoming fellows. This funding is intended to support people 
from communities who are underrepresented in fields related to Internet 
and society, who will contribute to the diversity of the Berkman Klein 
Center’s research and activities, and who have financial need.

Applications will be accepted until Monday January 16, 2017 at 11:59 
p.m. Eastern Time.
