Applications Open for Human Rights & the Arts Fellowship
The OSUN Center for Human Rights & the Arts invites applications for a one-year research and teaching fellowship in human rights and the arts. Scholars, artists, and activists with teaching experience and a research project are eligible to apply.The fellowship covers two academic semesters, from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, and is supported by a full-time salary and health benefits. The position is based at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY.
The Fellow will pursue their own research or creative practice within the interdisciplinary and critical framework of the Center, and contribute to the curriculum of the Center’s M.A. Program in Human Rights and the Arts by teaching each semester. The M.A. program, which launched in the 2021–22 academic year, explores the encounter between human rights and the arts as fields of academic knowledge, professional work, and artistic practice, while also offering students opportunities to explore ways of confronting the conceptual and practical perplexities of that encounter. The goal of the fellowship program is to support outstanding thinkers and practitioners and thus to strengthen research, creation, and teaching at the intersection of human rights and the arts.
The Fellow will receive a full-time salary and health insurance. The Fellow will also be provided with office space, a computer, and library access.
