Fellowship Program

Inaugurated in 2006, the Fellowship Program offers full or partial student and post-doctoral fellowship support to a small number of scholars pursuing research in areas related to the IGLP’s ongoing work. The number of Fellowships awarded each year depends upon the available funding. In general, the IGLP encourages the development of progressive and alternative ideas about international law, society and political economy by supporting original, provocative and challenging intellectual work that might not otherwise find support from mainstream institutional resources and which contributes to the emergence of new approaches to international law and global social justice.

For 2010-2011, with the generous support of an anonymous donor, the Institute awarded one full Post-Doctoral Fellowship to Dr. Hengameh Saberi from Iran. Dr. Saberi completed her SJD at Harvard in 2010. Her dissertation considered the relationship between the American philosophical tradition of pragmatism and the policy science of American international lawyers. We are pleased to welcome Dr. Saberi to the Institute.
