2007-2008 Carr Center for Human Rights Policy Fellowship Program 

CARR CENTER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS POLICY 

The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy is located in the John F. Kennedy
School of Government at Harvard University. Founded in 1999, the Carr
Center is a research, teaching and training program that critically
examines the policies and actions of governments, international
organizations, non-governmental organizations, and other actors that
affect the realization of human rights around the world. Our research,
teaching and writing are guided by a commitment to make human rights
principles central to the formulation of good public policy in the United
States and throughout the world. Since its founding, the Center has
developed a unique focus of expertise on the most dangerous and
intractable human rights challenges of the new century, including
genocide, mass atrocity, state failure and the ethics and politics of
military intervention.

The Carr Center is led by Director Sarah Sewall, whose recent work focuses
on the civilian in war and includes facilitating a dialogue between the
military and human rights communities on the use of force. The talented
group of faculty and staff comprising the Carr Center also includes Center
founder and current faculty affiliate Samantha Power, whose Pulitzer-prize
winning book, "A Problem From Hell: America in the Age of Genocide",
marked the culmination of the Carr Center's extensive research project on
U.S. policy responses to genocide in the 20th century.

As an independent research center, the Center seeks to offer a forum in
which diverse views about human rights can be considered. The Center seeks
to bring new voices to the table, thereby extending and deepening the
human rights dialogue. The Carr Center's location in a school of public
policy allows it to draw upon a range of disciplines and the case-based
analytic approach for which the Kennedy School is known. For more

THE FELLOWS PROGRAMS 

The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy Fellows Programs bring together a
diverse group of human rights practitioners, scholars and activists to
conduct research on human rights policy, contribute to the Center's
programs, and participate in broader dialogue with students, faculty and
researchers in the Harvard community. In 2007-2008, the Carr Center will
offer two separate fellowship types: The Carr Center Fellowships for
Academics and Scholars (non-stipendiary) and the Carr Center Fellowships
for Activists and Practitioners (stipendiary). The eligibility
requirements and application procedures differ.
