Call for Nominations - Oak Fellowship on Health & Human Rights
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,
I am the Director of the Oak Institute for the Study of Interna-
tional Human Rights at Colby College and I would like to solicit
your assistance in our annual search for the Oak Human Rights
Fellow, which is targeted this year for someone working in the
area of HEALTH AND HUMAN RIGHTS.
I have copied the announcement below. You can also access it at
http://www.colby.edu/oak
Each year, we host a human rights professional doing on-the-
ground work at some level of personal risk and organize a lec-
ture series around his or her area of expertise. The purpose of
the fellowship is to offer activists a respite from their work
and spend a semester as a scholar-in-residence at the College,
exposing campus community to the issues surrounding the human
rights issues on which the Fellow works.
In conducting our annual search, we rely heavily on nominations
from NGOs, academics, journalists, and human rights lawyers,
since these are the people most likely to know of the work of
on-the-ground professionals.
Since you and your organization has been active in working on
human rights issues, I would like your assistance in disseminat-
ing the announcement to your membership. You should also feel
free to nominate anyone or forward the announcement to anyone in
the field who could help us.
Whatever assistance you might provide would be greatly appreci-
ated. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get back to
me. Thank you in advance.
Ken Rodman
