Global Migrations
Summer Internship Grants

The Global Migrations Program is now accepting student applications for 
paid internships during the summer of 2009. These internships may 
include non-profit, non-governmental organizations that work with 
refugees, migrant workers, new immigrants and other displaced persons, 
and which are concerned with transnational migration, human rights, and 
other social justice issues that arise from the movements of persons 
across national and cultural boundaries.

Global Migrations Program

    * The Global Migrations Program is a grant-funded initiative at 
Hampshire College to rethink old paradigms of knowledge, citizenship and 
security in light of historical and contemporary movements of persons 
across national and cultural boundaries.
    * The program seeks to develop innovative undergraduate curriculum 
that is responsive to these transnational/cultural movements and the 
conflicts over identity, community, and citizenship to which they give 
rise.
    * The grant supports both faculty development and student work that 
attempts to bridge divides between local social/political issues and 
complex global processes, between the university and the wider 
communities of which it is a part, and/or across traditional 
disciplinary and areas studies divides within the academy.
    * The goal of the program is to develop a new community-based model 
of teaching and learning that engenders not only global literacy, but a 
sense of global citizenship.

These internships offer students opportunities to:

    * gain experience working for a non-profit, non-governmental 
organization
    * get paid for work they care about and find interesting
    * learn about grant writing, research skills, community organizing, 
and other aspects of transnational social justice/social change work


Who is eligible?

    * Hampshire College students at the Division II or III level
