Harvard University Fellowship Program 2022-2023: Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society (Funded)
The Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University is now accepting fellowship applications for the 2022-2023 academic year through the open call. The Berkman Klein Center Fellowship program provides an opportunity for innovative thinkers and changemakers to come together to hone and share ideas, find camaraderie, and spawn new initiatives. This opportunity is for scholars who wish to spend 2022-2023 in residence in Cambridge, MA as part of the Center’s vibrant community of research and practice, and who seek to engage in collaborative, cross-disciplinary, and cross-sectoral exploration of the Internet’s most important issues.
The program encourages and supports fellows in an inviting and playful intellectual environment with community activities designed to foster inquiry and risk-taking; to identify and expose common threads across fellows’ individual activities; and to bring fellows into conversation with the students, staff, faculty, and broader community at the Berkman Klein Center. From their diverse backgrounds and wide-ranging physical and virtual travels, Berkman Klein Center fellows bring fresh ideas, skills, passion, and connections to the Center and the community, and from their time spent in Cambridge, they help build and extend new perspectives and activities back out into their home networks, communities, and fields.
Fellows appointed through this open call come into their fellowship with a personal research agenda, a set of ambitions, and a sense of the public scholarship and community interactions they wish to foster while at the Center.
Areas of Interest
Berkman Klein Center invites applications from scholars whose research advances Internet & society studies in the public interest. For the 2022-2023 year, a couple of the topics they would be interested in having fellows explore include:
- Regulating and Implementing Ethical AI: How should governmental, nonprofit, and private sector organizations implement AI best practices and turn AI principles into operational realities?
- Adapting Copyright Law to Support Teaching in a Pandemic and Post-Pandemic Environment: How copyright law should be shaped amidst technological and social change remains a significant question. and of the benign pedagogic innovations provoked by the pandemic.
- Designing for Equitable Learning: One-size-fits-all educational systems fit few learners well and differentially misserve the already underserved.

- The Berkman Klein Center invites applications from people whose work on Internet and society may overlap with ongoing work at the Berkman Klein Center and may expose ther community to new opportunities and approaches. They welcome applications from people who feel that a year as a fellow in the variegated community would accelerate their efforts and contribute to their ongoing personal and professional development.
- The Berkman Klein Center encourages applications from scholars, practitioners, innovators, engineers, artists, and others committed to understanding and advancing the public interest. Fellows come from across the disciplinary spectrum and different life paths.
