Reflection on her internship by Lena Maghraoui (Environmental Science, AB'25) who served as a Pozen Center human rights summer 2022 intern at the World Commission on Environmental Law.

Doctoral students whose research intersects with human rights themes are invited to apply for this competitive yearlong fellowship opportunity. Fellows will meet throughout the academic year, typically twice per quarter, with members of the Pozen Center faculty. At the end of the academic year, Fellows will have made tangible progress on a piece of work and present it in the Doctoral Seminar.

Doctoral students interested in lecturing a course of their own design this academic year should apply!

The fellowship award supports one year of work after graduation at a non-governmental organization, government agency, or international body dedicated to human rights.
