Mallika Kaur ’09 has received Harvard’s Sheldon Traveling Fellowship, given annually to one individual from across the university. Selected from an applicant pool spanning all Harvard graduate schools, Kaur is the co-founder and coordinator of the Kashmir Initiative at Harvard’s Carr Center for Human Rights Policy. The initiative, which began in spring 2009 and recently appointed an advisory board, promotes inclusive security and democracy in Indian-administered Kashmir by fostering research and creating an interdisciplinary dialogue with students, academics, policymakers, Kashmiris, and non-Kashmiris. The Sheldon Fellowship will support Kaur’s travel, study, and writing on gender issues in Kashmir.
