 Julian Bond fellowship application deadline is coming soon! Are you an early-career journalist or researcher who cares about equity and democracy in the South? The Institute for Southern Studies, publisher of Facing South, is now accepting applications for the Julian Bond Fellowship program. The Julian Bond Fellowship, named in honor of the civil rights legend and co-founder of the Institute, aims to promote new voices in Southern media and support early-career, public interest journalists and researchers in the South.
Now in its second year, the Fellowship is a nine-month, full-time position. Fellows will be provided a $5,000 monthly stipend, and additional resources for training, conferences, and research expenses. Given uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus epidemic, the Institute will be exploring options for fellows to conduct their fellowships either remotely or while based at the Institute's offices in Durham, North Carolina. Journalists and researchers of color are strongly encouraged to apply, as are others who believe their presence would contribute substantially to diversifying the media and public scholar landscape in the South. Candidates must have at least two to three years of experience writing for a public audience, and a demonstrated commitment to promoting justice, equality, and democracy. The application deadline is Monday, Aug. 24, 2020 at 5 p.m. Visit here for more information or to submit an application. Questions? Email us at [email protected]. |
