MIT PROGRAM ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND JUSTICE SUMMER INTERNSHIPS
Deadline: February 15, 2002 Contact: phrj@mit.edu
The MIT Program on Human Rights and Justice (PHRJ) is pleased to announce
human rights-related summer internship opportunities for undergraduate and
graduate students at MIT. The internships, usually between 8 and 12 weeks,
can be arranged with
non-governmental or inter-governmental organizations, social movements, or
business organizations concerned with human rights and justice, broadly
conceived. The organizations that students may be interested in may
include traditional human rights ones that engage in advocacy and policy
(such as Human Rights Watch or Physicians for Human Rights) to
non-traditional ones that engage in direct action to change human rights
conditions at the grassroots (such as the Asian Coalition for Housing
Rights). The purpose of the internships is to provide MIT students the
opportunity to study human rights issues first-hand at the field level or
through applied research. There are no geographical restrictions but
students are encouraged to explore overseas opportunities that will improve
their cross-cultural understanding across the world.
The summer internship covers round trip travel to the place of internship
and a modest stipend for living expenses, a total not exceeding
$5,000. The staff members of the MIT Program on Human Rights and Justice
are willing to assist interested students in obtaining information on
potential organizations for internships around the world. Students may
also identify organizations through their own initiative.
The successful applicants will undergo a one-day orientation in spring and
may take a spring module, Introduction to Human Rights in Theory and
Practice. Following the completion of the internships, the students are
required to present a short report, not exceeding 20 pages, about their
activities, the organization and the contribution to the student's academic
life. They may also be invited to make oral presentations about their
experience at the PHRJ during the fall semester.
To apply, the following documents must be received, along with a covering
letter, on or before February 15, 2002 at the office of the PHRJ:
1. a resume;
2. name, address and a short description of the organization with
which the internship is sought;
3. a letter of interest from the organization concerned;
4. a title and a short description of the project and the nature of
activities to be performed during the internship (one page only);
5. a paragraph of how the experience will contribute to the
applicant's academic life at MIT or professional life thereafter; and
6. two letters of recommendation at least one of which is from an MIT
faculty member in support of the applicant's intellectual
and emotional suitability to perform the internship;
Successful applicants will be notified on or before April 15, 2002. For
further information, please contact the PHRJ at phrj@mit.edu or 617-258-7614.
