Applying for the Atlantic Fellowship for Social and Economic Equity
Are you a social change leader committed to advancing justice and equity? Do you want to understand the processes that are causing and deepening inequalities? Are you willing to join forces with a global network of peers to mount a collective challenge to inequality?
The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity at the International Inequalities Institute is a fantastic opportunity for those from social movement, civil society, academic, campaign or policy-making organizations to investigate and challenge the causes of inequalities.
The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity will identify, prepare and connect cohorts of diverse, multidisciplinary and action-oriented leaders seeking radical solutions to the structural and historic barriers that underpin inequalities globally.
Via two tracks, Residential and Non-Residential, the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity program combines rigorous academic coursework with practical approaches to fostering social change.
