VISITING SCHOLARS AND FELLOWS

The New School Social Science Training Fellows (NSST)
NSST is a Fellowship program that complements the work of the region-based Democracy & Diversity (Cape Town and Krakow) Institutes, by providing an annual follow-up component and extension to selected Institute alumni annually. During their stay, fellows will have a chance to deepen their research work that began at the Institutes in a more closely supervised program at the New School University's Graduate Faculty.

For more about the Democracy & Diversity Institutes and the NSST fellowship program in New York visit our programs/fellowships page.
