Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 30 March 2025. 

LOCATION: USA

Theme: Borders, Gender and Violence Reduction.

The Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice (Kroc IPJ) at the University of San Diego’s Kroc School of Peace Studies has hosted the Women PeaceMakers Fellowship program for twenty years. The Fellowship offers a unique opportunity for peacebuilders who focus on gender, peace, and conflict to engage in a learning, practice, research, and participation cycle that strengthens peacebuilding partnerships.

ELIGIBILITY:

The Women PeaceMakers Fellowship facilitates impactful collaborations between peacebuilders from conflict-affected communities and international partner organizations.

Anyone who considers themselves a peacebuilder working to reduce cycles of violence through a focus on gender, peace, and conflict is welcome to apply.

People of all genders, including transgender and non-binary or gender-fluid people, are welcome to apply and are eligible for a fellowship.

The Women PeaceMakers Fellowship program does not consider sex, gender, or any other protected status as part of the application and selection process.

Applicants must have at least five years of peacebuilding or violence reduction experience and must speak sufficient English to participate fully in Fellowship activities.

The Fellows also co-create research intended to shape the peacebuilding field and highlight good practices for peacebuilding design and implementation.

Throughout the Fellowship with the Kroc IPJ, selected Fellows will:

Learn from and with other Fellows and the Kroc School team;

Learn about the Fellowship and past Fellows

Gain new skills, perspectives, and innovative approaches to peacebuilding

Expand their professional peacebuilding networks

Drive forward vital peacebuilding research that focuses on shaping practice and policy

Read past research from the Fellowship

Fellowship Dates: September 2025 – July 2026.

BENEFIT:

Fellows will receive a stipend of USD $15,000, which will cover their time spent in the fellowship as well as any costs for conducting fellowship-related research. The Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice will cover costs for the residency period at the University of San Diego.

Travel for the residency: Applicants should expect to be involved with full-time program activities throughout the two-week residency and should not schedule any conflicting engagements elsewhere in the US or overseas. An unscheduled absence from the Residency may result in the Fellow losing their Fellowship. The Kroc IPJ will work with Fellows to identify solutions if challenges arise related to receiving a visa to enter the US or the ability of the Fellow to visit the US safely. Accommodation will be provided at a guesthouse on the University of San Diego campus, and Fellows will be provided with a per diem to cover essentials.
