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>gt;, 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-candidates-2…
.
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.
