About the John Lewis Fellowship in Atlanta
For the past 17 years, the Humanity in Action Fellowship has brought together international groups of students and young professionals to study human and minority rights in Europe and the United States. In 2015, Humanity in Action is now expanding its fellowship program to Atlanta for the first time. The John Lewis Fellowship will explore the histories and contemporary issues of diversity and minority rights in the United States with a particular focus on Atlanta. Key areas of inquiry include race and racism, immigration, national identity, Native American issues and the relationship between civil rights and human rights.

Fellows will attend discussions with renowned scholars and activists at The Center, visit historical sites and engage in discussions on a range of political and social issues. They will also draw upon the immense resources of the institution and contribute to its extensive and innovative outreach initiatives. Participation requires intellectual curiosity and social maturity, as well as the ability to work collaboratively in international teams. Students from American universities will learn alongside Fellows from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands and Poland.

Upon successful completion of the program, Fellows will join the global network of over 1,400 Humanity in Action Senior Fellows. As Senior Fellows, they are eligible for advanced professional opportunities, such as fellowships in the U.S. Congress and the European Parliament.
