[Air-L] Berkman Klein Center at Harvard Now Accepting Applications for 18-19 Fellowships

[Daniel Oyolu]

Hello Air-L Community!

I'm the Core Program Coordinator at the Berkman Klein Center for 
Internet & Society at Harvard University <https://cyber.harvard.edu/> 
and we've just announced our open call for fellowship applications 
<https://cyber.harvard.edu/getinvolved/fellowships/opencall20182019> for 
the 2018-2019 academic year.  We're a public interest research center 
and community working to explore the Internet and new digital 
developments, touching a broad range of topics I know are of great 
import to people in the this community.

Fellowships at the Center are opportunities for those who wish to spend 
2018-2019 in residence in Cambridge, MA as part of the our 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.

Fellows are supported in an inviting and playful intellectual 
environment - we have 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 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 2018-2019 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 Wednesday January 31, 2018 at 11:59 
p.m. Eastern Time.*

I invite you to check out our full call 
<https://cyber.harvard.edu/getinvolved/fellowships/opencall20182019>, 
which has more information about our community activities and the 
application process.  Please feel most welcome to share this info with 
others who you think might have interest.  And if there are any 
questions, please feel most welcome to reach out to me or Becca Tabasky, 
(copied on this email) our Manager of Community Programs.

All best,
Daniel
