Deadline: January 5, 2024
Applications are now open for the Racial Justice Fellowship 2024-2025 at Harvard Kennedy School The Racial Justice program focuses on reimagining systems, institutions, and movements to promote racial and economic equality for all. The program strengthens the discourse that connects national civil rights to global human rights frameworks and brings together faculty, fellows, students, and the wider university community to collaborate.
The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy serves as the Harvard Kennedy School's research, teaching, and training center in the field of human rights. The center embraces a dual mission: to educate students and the next generation of leaders worldwide in human rights policies and practices; and to gather and provide relevant policy insights to international organizations, governments, policymakers, and businesses.

- They seek to attract a diverse group of fellows from different disciplines and sectors (academia, business, technology, civil society, human rights organizations, public interest technologists, and independent researchers and practitioners) who would like to design and develop a research project relevant to their own experience and the research priorities of the Center.
- Fellows are encouraged to collaborate with one another and are expected to participate in regular Zoom calls with Carr Center faculty and other experts. Papers produced by fellows will be published and promoted by the Carr Center, and more practical or applied projects will be presented to a group of experts who will provide feedback and ideas for improvement.
- The fellowships are primarily non-residential; limited shared office space may be available for fellows who wish to reside there, but this is not guaranteed. Occasional access to shared offices may also be available for those visiting the Cambridge/Boston area.
- Fellows are expected to come to Cambridge, MA, for an in-person meeting to learn from one another, share their work in progress with the Carr Center and the wider Kennedy School community, and participate, as appropriate, in presentations, training sessions, or workshops. Limited travel grants may be available for those who require assistance.
