Practicum Opportunity at FXB Center for Health and Human Rights
The FXB Center for Health and Human Rights, located at the Harvard School of Public Health, combines the academic strengths of research and teaching with a strong commitment to service and policy development. The FXB Center works to promote the rights and wellbeing of children and adolescents in extreme circumstances worldwide. We achieve this through research, education, policy advocacy, and leadership.
The student intern will work exclusively with the FXB Policy Director, Alicia Ely Yamin, JD, MPH. The student will have the opportunity to work on projects related specifically to sexual and reproductive health rights. The first project is on sexual and reproductive rights ‘lawfare’—or the use of courts to advance social agendas normally pursued through political forums. The student will assist researching the role of courts, as well as international tribunals and treaty bodies, as sites of struggles over sexual and reproductive rights (SRR-lawfare) and will undertake research aimed at understanding the legal, social and political effects of these cases, including how they affect the social and normative legitimacy of the international human rights standards. One specific dimension of the work on SRR lawfare relates to transnational actors and their roles in promoting both progressive and conservative agendas on sexual and reproductive rights, as funders, norm entrepreneurs, and mobilizing actors.
Applicants must have demonstrable knowledge of international human rights law and international human rights legal mechanisms, as well as some knowledge of and interest in sexual and reproductive rights. Please contact Rebecca Cantor if interested (rcantor@hsph.harvard.edu) with a cover letter and CV. The position will be at least 14 hours per week and is available starting in late August/early September.
