WFF Public Voices Thought Leadership Fellows Program, 2011-12
The Public Voices Thought Leadership Fellowship at Yale is an opportunity for 20 senior women and minority men scholars to work intensively for a year to increase their influence and contribution as thought leaders whose ideas impact not only academia, but also the important issues of our time. The program consists of four interactive seminars (either one or two days long per quarter) that are designed to expand thinking, amplify expertise, and generate concrete results. Fellows are assigned individual mentors and have the opportunity to work with top journalists and access a national network of editor-mentors and high-level media experts in making sure their scholarship and expertise contribute to the public sphere.The program is conducted by the leaders of the OpEd Project. The Public Voices Thought Fellowship Program at Yale is co-sponsored by the Office of the Provost and is part of WFF’s ongoing public thought leadership, mentorship and professional development efforts.
