Global Fellows

The CHRHS Global Fellows Program is a dynamic network of academics and practitioners focusing on humanitarian assistance and human rights. Global Fellows contribute to the portfolio of CHRHS through collaborative interdisciplinary research and training programs. While not physically located at CHRHS, our Global Fellows often collaborate with Brown University faculty and students on research projects and training initiatives. A call to join the Global Fellows program is released in the summer of every other year.
