Oak Human Rights Fellowship

[Katalin Fabian]

I would like to bring to your attention our annual search for the
Oak Human Rights Fellow for the 2001-2002 academic year.  The fellowship is
a one semester (Sept.-Dec.)appointment as a scholar-in-residence at the
College. It is designed for human rights professionals doing on-the-ground
work
at personal risk.  Its purpose is to provide them a respite from front
line duties and enable them to communicate their work to the campus
community.  The search for the Fall 2001 Oak Fellow is focusing in the area
of GENDER AND INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS.  Candidates need a working
knowledge of English but there are no citizenship or educational
requirements.  One fellowship is awarded each year.

Nominations should be forward either to me or to
the Associate Director, Eliza Denoeux at the contact information
listed below.

If you have any questions, you can access our web page at
www.colby.edu/oak or contact us at oakhr at colby.edu.

You should also feel free to post this announcement for
distribution or to send it  to anyone who might be interested or who might
know of deserving candidates for the fellowship.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you might offer.

Sincerely,

Mary Beth Mills
Director

OAK HUMAN RIGHTS FELLOWSHIP
2001 Focus: Gender and International Human Rights

The Oak Institute for the Study of International Human Rights at Colby
College is soliciting nominations for the Oak Human Rights Fellowship for
the fall of
2001.

The Oak Fellowship offers an opportunity for prominent practitioners in
international human rights to take a sabbatical leave from their work and
spend a semester (September - December 2001) as a scholar-in-residence at
the College. This provides the Fellow time for reflection, research, and
writing. Following the period of the award, it is expected that the Fellow
will return to her or his human rights work. For the fall of 2001, the Oak
Institute seeks a practitioner in the field of gender and international
human rights. Possible areas of interest include but are not limited to:
the international sex trade, domestic violence, women and labor rights,
rape as a form of war crime, struggles related to sexuality/sexual
orientation, among others.   We especially encourage applications from
those who are currently or were recently involved in "on-the-ground" work
at some level of personal
risk.

The Oak Fellow's responsibilities include some collaborative teaching
with members of the Colby Faculty, ongoing meetings with student discussion
groups, and assistance in shaping a lecture series associated with the
Fellow's area of expertise.  The Fellow is also expected to participate in
the intellectual life of the campus to enable our students to work and
study with a professional in the field.

The Fellow will receive a stipend and College fringe benefits plus
round-trip
transportation from the Fellow's home site, housing for a family, use of
a car, and meals on campus.  The Fellow will also receive research support,
including office space, secretarial support, computer and library
facilities and a student research assistant.

Nominations for the Oak Fellowship for the fall 2001 semester should be sent
to
Professor Mary Beth Mills, Anthropology Department, Colby College,
Waterville, Maine 04901 (fax: 207-872-3474 / 3752;  e-mail: oakhr at colby.edu;
phone 207-872-3813/3683). NOTE: Completed applications from nominees must
arrive no later than January 10, 2001. Please ensure that nominations reach
the Institute with sufficient time for us to forward applications to
nominees and for nominees to meet the application deadline. More
information - including APPLICATION FORM- is available on the Institute's
Web site at
http://www.colby.edu/oak.

We plan to announce the final selection by March 30, 2001.
