Coming Soon
2027 Underground Fire Fellowship
This fellowship supports SWANA and Global South critical lenses on Zionism and builds intellectual connections among CZS researchers in the US and the Global South. Specifically, the fellowship supports scholarly research/writing works in progress by faculty in Palestine, the Global South, and the United States who are also mentoring student researchers (undergrad or grad) in CZS. Fellowships will be geographically distributed to form a cohort of scholars thinking together across contexts.
Application opens in early September with a late October deadline.
Also coming soon: Testimonies to the US Commission on Civil Rights
