The Metta Center for Nonviolence is pleased to announce a new fellowship position for Summer 2012 to explore the topic of atonement, sponsored by the ‘Beyond Forgiveness’ Project. This fellowship will be one of up to three research opportunities offered by the Metta Center this summer.
Description:
As violence marches across our societies and the planet, we need to develop every possible means of reducing and interrupting its vicious cycles. This unique fellowship position will examine reconciliation processes through contact with key individuals and organizations, analyze their success rates for healing personal and societal violence, and make recommendations for implementing projects for reconciliation in an effort to reach key demographics who might benefit from these processes, such as returning veterans, individuals with a background of abuse, and other communities identified through the research.
NB: Applicants for the Atonement fellowship should first familiarize themselves with the book Beyond Forgiveness: Reflections in Atonement (Jossey Bass). (You can obtain a copy through the Metta Center or at your local bookstore).
Dates: Mid-June until Mid-August, 2012
Location: The Metta Center for Nonviolence, Petaluma, CA.
Logistics: Fellows will intern 3 days a week with the Metta Center and spend the rest of the week in research. Fellows will have access to library facilities at UC Berkeley.
Award: Fellows will receive housing in Petaluma as well as a stipend for completed research of $2,000.00.
Please submit a one page letter of interest, a CV highlighting relevant training and experience with the subject area, and two recommendations by March 25. Successful applicants will be invited to an interview.
