Are you in need of respite? Or can you think of a front-line activist in need of respite?
Call for nominations and applications for the 2020 Oak Human Rights Fellowship, sponsored by the Oak Institute for Human Rights at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. The fellowship provides a one-semester activist-in-residence opportunity for a human rights activist operating in difficult or dangerous circumstances to come to Colby College, one of the most prestigious liberal arts colleges in the United States, for respite from front-line duties to reflect on their experiences. In doing so, Oak strives to educate the campus and extended community about the work being done by our Fellow. Thus, we are writing to ask for your help in identifying the Oak Fellow for the fall of 2020, or if you are interested in applying for the residence as a practitioner.
Please submit nominations to us as soon as possible. We will contact your nominee(s) and suggest that he, she or they apply; but we also hope you will encourage your nominee to apply directly. Your nomination will become part of the applicant’s file, underscoring your recognition of this person’s important contributions to human rights activism. The deadline for nominations is November 30th, 2019, and for completed applications is December 30th, 2019
If you have any questions, you can reach us at (207) 859-5304 or at oakhr@colby.edu. (please note that we will not accept nominations by phone). For more information, you can access our website; we call your attention to the frequently asked questions section to clarify terms and eligibility
