Selection and Eligibility Criteria

We are looking for Fellows who are bold and ready to challenge power; who see the bigger picture of how inequalities are playing out; who are imaginative and daring in the way they envision solutions; who bring care and collaboration into their practice; who recognise the significance of lived experience of inequality, whose own lived experience informs their practice; and who focus not on advancing their careers, but on their commitment to changing the world through collective and collaborative approaches.

It is the Fellows themselves who make this fellowship experience so powerful. The knowledge and expertise, lived experience, passion, commitment, and care that they bring to the global fellowship community are what makes it so transformative.

We are working to build a cohort that reflects diverse perspectives and experiences, with a majority of our Fellows coming from the Global South. We look for a range of characteristics in our Fellows, in addition to their alignment to the fellowship offering and our values (fairness, commitment, curiosity, kindness, and courage). 

We are especially keen to support applicants who meet at least one of the following criteria:

• Candidates who live in the Global South (although this factor will never be considered in isolation)
• Candidates who come from marginalised and/or historically underrepresented groups such as Black, Latinx/o/a/e, Indigenous, Asian, Arab, Middle Eastern, Pacific Islander, refugee, biracial, multiracial, female-identifying, the disability community, LGBTQIA+ etc. 
• Candidates who do not otherwise have the resources to finance their participation in activities such as the AFSEE Fellowship and/or have not already had significant access to fellowships or scholarships.
