USA: 2010 Oak Human Rights Fellowship - The Oak Institute for the Study of International Human Rights at Colby College

Overview

The Oak Institute for the Study of International Human Rights at Colby College is pleased to announce a call for applications for the 2010 Oak Fellowship. We seek front-line human rights activists working outside of the U.S. and advocating for those incarcerated. Areas of work for prisoners’ rights include, but are not limited to living standards and health care in prisons, pretrial detention, illegal imprisonment, detained non-citizens, the right of legal representation, juvenile detention, education and practical training for inmates, post-detention rehabilitation, families of inmates, disciplinary procedures, prison privatization, gender and racial discrimination in incarceration, political prisoners, prisoners of war, torture, sexual abuse, brutality, and the death penalty.


The 2010 fellowship will offer a semester in residence at Colby, giving respite from front-line human rights work, a $32,000 stipend, plus medical insurance, transportation, housing and utilities.
