The Lender Center for Social Justice Seeks Applicants for Student Fellows

Wednesday, October 5, 2022, By Maria Damiano

The Lender Center for Social Justice is seeking students from all academic disciplines to apply as a 2022-24 Lender Student Fellow.

The center welcomes students who are passionate about finding solutions to complex problems and want to sustain and encourage diversity and inclusion at Syracuse University.

The fellowships will allow students to engage in collaborative research led by Faculty Fellow Mona Bhan, investigating how artificial intelligence weapons systems transform war and surveillance and accentuate people’s social and political vulnerabilities to violence.

Five Lender Student Fellows will work on the research-based advocacy project for two years and receive a annual stipend.

The selected fellows will:

  • Work closely with the faculty fellow in developing the collaborative research project
  • Work with students from various disciplines in a dynamic research environment
  • Participate in public discussions and presentations of the research project

An information session to provide an overview of the 2022-24 Lender Student Fellowship and Professor Bhan’s research will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 11, from 11 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. in 151 Eggers Hall. Lunch will be provided.

The deadline for applications is Nov.1. For more information on how to apply and to submit an application, visit the Lender Center Student Fellowship webpage.
