Dear Colleague,
We would like to alert you to a new Open Society Institute (OSI) fellowship to support scholars, journalists, activists, policy experts and others to work on projects that inspire public debate and shape policy.
The Open Society Fellowship is open to individuals from around the world and focuses on four areas: National Security and the Open Society; Citizenship, Membership and Marginalization; Strategies and Tools for Advocacy and Citizen Engagement; and Understanding Authoritarianism. We will also support a limited number of fellows whose projects fall outside these areas but are germane to OSI’s mission. Fellows’ projects may include books, articles, documentary films and photography, online media, and efforts to seed new campaigns and organizations.
Proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis and there are no application deadlines. The fellowship does not fund programs of study or dissertation research. More details are available at http://www.soros.org/initiatives/fellowship.
Please help us publicize this opportunity by sharing this announcement widely.
Many thanks,
Sasha Post
