Young Scholars Fellowship on Religion and the Rule of Law 2024

About ICLRS Young Scholars Fellowship on Religion and the Rule of Law 2024

Legal restrictions on religious individuals and groups remain high or very high in many countries, and these official obstacles are often combined with increasing social hostilities toward religion. Sometimes restrictions and hostilities rise to the level of persecution of religious minorities or even genocide.

More frequently, however, such problems arise from discrimination, social marginalization, and the ordinary problems of lawmaking, enforcement, adjudication, and regulation. There is a need for a global program to identify and educate the rising generation of scholars and leaders in the field of law and religion—individuals who have the knowledge and skills to address these challenges.

Program Details

Each year, ten to fifteen international graduate students are admitted from human rights and comparative law backgrounds for this advanced three-week training course in international and comparative law and religion. Participants attend lectures and engage in discussions on law and religion topics, led by experts in the field. They also engage in online writing tutorials prior to the Program and individualized writing tutorials during the Program, to help participants produce a publishable English-language scholarly article. Participants have unique opportunities to present their research, network with established and emerging law and religion scholars, and receive a valuable academic credential. For more detailed information, see Program Overview.

Eligibility

The Program is designed primarily for early-career academics interested in the field of religion and the rule of law from an international and human rights perspective. While the Program has a legal focus, applicants need not have a background in law. Applicants from other fields, including religious studies, human rights, international relations, politics, sociology, and history, are welcome.
