Six months fellowship programme for two early career researchers, young professionals, and artists working under the overarching thematic of social justice in Lebanon.
The blast and destruction of Beirut on the 4th of August 2020 has caused the death of more than 150 persons, over 5000 wounded, dozens disappeared, and more than 300,000 families have lost their homes.
Lebanon is going through the ongoing spread of the Coronavirus (Covid-19).
Civil society in the Middle East has continued to centre initiatives and projects on gender equality and women’s rights over the past few years. In many ways, this can be read as a part of a long history of both activist and feminist engagements in the region. Lebanon Support is seeking submissions for the Civil Society Review issue titled "Challenging Power and Inequality: Gender and Social Justice in the Middle East".
About the Study Week
The Migration Study Week, organised by Lebanon Support, offers a participatory, interdisciplinary, innovative, and intensive immersion in migration issues in the Middle East. It aims at providing practitioners, junior researchers, and journalists that work with and on refugees the opportunity to reflect critically on the main problematics that shape migration, mobility, and circulation in the Middle East.
The Bassem Chit Fellowship for the Study of Activism aims to give early career scholars the opportunity to conduct research on activism in the Arab world. It invites them to examine political processes from below, with a focus on contentious politics, and collective action while steering away from the idea of the cultural exceptionalism of the “area”. The fellowship particularly seeks to encourage research that explores the genealogy of mobilizing actors, their action repertoires, their framing processes, their modes of actions, and their demands.
Lebanon Support is constantly looking for interns to join our team. Interns joining Lebanon Support will have access to a wide range of resources in the fields of information management and research, and will acquire new skills and a better understanding of Lebanon’s civil society sector, as well as an in depth knowledge of developmental, humanitarian and human rights notions, concepts and methodologies.
