Conflict Transformation Fellowship

The Conflict Transformation Fellowship is partial funding awarded to current graduate students at the Language Schools and other institutions for the Summer Immersion Programs and Graduate Programs at Middlebury Language Schools. Funded by the Kathryn Wasserman Davis Collaborative in Conflict Transformation, this select group of Language Schools students will focus on the ways that conflict transformation (the development of creative solutions to conflict-based systems and situations) manifests in diverse regions, cultures, contexts, and fields around the globe. The fellowship is available to current graduate students from other institutions applying to the Summer Immersion Programs, as well as new and returning MA and DML students at the Middlebury Language Schools. Successful fellowship applications typically have a strong background in conflict transformation, and students represent a wide range of graduate programs and professions. Fellowship recipients engage in Conflict Transformation workshops during the summer Language Schools, connect and collaborate with students and staff across languages, and submit a short report summarizing professional or scholarship goals related to conflict transformation concepts, skills, and dispositions.
