The Human Rights Center awards summer fellowships to students of the University of California to work with human rights organizations in the United States and abroad.
Fellowships enable students to build connections between their academic studies and complex issues in the field. The deadline for 2012 fellowships will be February 23, 2012. Click on the Application page for links to applications. Student fellows have come from a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, political science, law, environmental science, public policy, public health, and medicine. Some fellows have learned how to design and implement grassroots advocacy campaigns on behalf of the landless, poor, or urban workers in Asia, Africa, Central America, and the United States. Others have helped draft legal briefs on behalf of political asylum seekers in the United States, worked with the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, campaigned for adequate medical care for AIDS victims in Russia, or worked with organizations fighting for the rights of farmers displaced by the construction of large dams in India. Since 1994, 210 UC Human Rights Fellows have researched the most pressing human rights issues in 63 countries:
HRC also offers occasional graduate and post-graduate fellowships with partner organizations, such as Human Rights Watch and the International Criminal Court.
