Dear Wikimedia Researchers,
I am writing to you from the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard
University<https://cyber.harvard.edu/> - a public interest research center
dedicated to exploring, understanding, and shaping the development of the
digitally-networked environment. We are now accepting fellowship applications for the
2020-2021 academic year through our annual open
call<https://cyber.harvard.edu/getinvolved/fellowships/2021Fellows>ws>.
This fellowship opportunity is for those who wish to spend 2020-2021 in residence in
Cambridge, MA as part of the Center's vibrant community of research and practice, and
who seek to engage in collaborative, cross-disciplinary, and cross-sectoral exploration of
some of the Internet's most important and compelling issues. Some more information is
below, and I invite you to check out our full
call<https://cyber.harvard.edu/getinvolved/fellowships/2021Fellows>ws>, which has more
information about our community activities and the application process.
Please feel most welcome to share this information with others in your network who may
have interest. Any questions can be directed to
2021opencall@cyber.harvard.edu<mailto:2021opencall@cyber.harvard.edu>.
Applications will be accepted until Friday January 31, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
More about the fellowship program:
Fellows are supported in an inviting and playful intellectual environment - we have
community activities designed to foster inquiry and risk-taking, to identify and expose
common threads across fellows’ individual activities, and to bring fellows into
conversation with the students, staff, faculty, and broader community at the Berkman Klein
Center.
We invite applications from people working on a broad range of opportunities and
challenges related to Internet and society, which may overlap with ongoing work at the
Berkman Klein Center and may expose our community to new opportunities and approaches. We
encourage applications from scholars, practitioners, innovators, engineers, artists, and
others committed to understanding and advancing the public interest who come from —and
have interest in — countries industrialized or developing, with ideas, projects, or
activities in all phases on a spectrum from incubation to reflection.
To make fellowships a possibility for as wide a range of applicants as possible, in the
2020-2021 academic year we will award a small number of stipends to incoming fellows. This
funding is intended to support people from communities who are underrepresented in fields
related to Internet and society, who will contribute to the diversity of the Berkman Klein
Center’s research and activities, and who have financial need. More information about this
funding opportunity may be found
here<https://cyber.harvard.edu/getinvolved/fellowships/stipends-for-cand…21>.
The work and well-being of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society are
profoundly strengthened by the diversity of our network and our differences in background,
culture, experience, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender
identity, race, ethnicity, age, ability, and much more. We actively seek and welcome
people of color, women, the LGBTQIA+ community, persons with disabilities, and people at
intersections of these identities, from across the spectrum of disciplines and methods.
The full call for applications may be found at:

Applications will be accepted until Friday January 31, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
