Scholars and\/or artists with teaching experience and a research project are eligible to apply. The 2023\u20132024 fellowships cover a period of one year, i.e. two academic semesters, from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. The positions are based at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY. The fellowships include a full-time salary, health benefits, and a research budget. Fellows are expected to participate in the academic life of Bard and OSUN, pursue their own research, and contribute to the CHRA\u2019s public programs. The annual salary for this position is $65,000.<\/p>\n<p>The Fellows 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\u2019s M.A. Program in Human Rights and the Arts by teaching one course each semester. The M.A. program, which launched in the 2021\u201322 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 Center will award one Fellowship to a practitioner (artistic or activist\/advocate), and one to a researcher or scholar, each year. We recognize that these categories are often blurry and encourage applications from those who cannot in advance specify to which group they belong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Compensation and Benefits<\/strong><br \/>\nFellows will receive a full-time salary and health insurance.
