The #IAS_NUQ Global Undergraduate Fellowship is an opportunity for students at NU-Q 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 of the Global South.
#IAS_NUQ Global Undergraduate Fellows pursue a solo research or evidence-based creative scholarship project on a subject of their choosing over twelve months, focussing on the Global South and addressing one or more of our current research themes:
Under the mentorship of #IAS_NUQ’s director, #IAS_NUQ staff, #IAS_NUQ postdoctoral scholars, and NU-Q faculty mentors, Global Undergraduate Fellows develop their concept and deepen their research skills. They publish or produce the output of their projects with #IAS_NUQ_Press and present it to the NU-Q community at the annual #IAS_NUQ Global Undergraduate Fellows Presentations, held at the end of January each year.
Fellows have access to a shared workspace at the Institute, dependent on needs and availability. All Fellows are expected to participate in and promote #IAS_NUQ events, to contribute to stimulating conversations and learn about theories, methodologies, and intellectual debates in, from, and about the countries of the Global South.
Fellowships are open to advanced undergraduate students who meet ALL of the following criteria:
