Fellowships
Our fellowships’ programs are designed to support scholars working in and on the Global South. Fellows at the Institute for Advanced Study in the Global South draw on multiple disciplines and approaches to produce knowledge that is locally relevant and globally resonant. By pushing against disciplinary entrenchments, they stimulate critical conversations about enduring questions and emerging challenges that confront the Global South. #IAS_NUQ Fellows are fully engaged in the life of the Institute, an inclusive community of global scholars driven by intellectual generosity, curiosity, and exchange. While at the Institute, they work on individual projects, as well as collaborate in research groups, author multi-lingual publications, and organize lectures, screenings, workshops, and conferences.
Global Undergraduate Fellowships
The Global Undergraduate Fellowship is an opportunity for Northwestern Qatar students who have a new or ongoing research or creative project to develop it into an original contribution to evidence-based storytelling, and hence to knowledge. #IAS_NUQ Global Undergraduate Fellows receive mentorship from #IAS_NUQ staff and Northwestern Qatar faculty to develop their concepts and deepen their research skills. For the course of a year, they carry out a research project and publish or produce the output with #IAS_NUQ_Press and present it to Northwestern Qatar’s local and global community.
