Selected interns should be available at least 10 hours per week during the semester. The internship offers a modest scholarship.

Intern projects may include the following:

For BDP Students only: For students who participate in the Bridging Disciplines Program (BDP), please see the Barbara Harlow Internship in Human Rights & Social Justice (open only to students who are in the BDP Program). The deadline for Spring 2023 Harlow Internship applications is also November 17, 2022. The internship is similar to the Rapoport Center’s standard undergraduate internship: Selected interns should be available at least 10 hours per week during the semester. More information about the Rapoport Center and the Barbara Harlow Internship program can be found at https://law.utexas.edu/humanrights/opportunities/barbara-harlow-internship/.

 

What distinguishes the Harlow internship from the standard undergraduate internships is that it offers a higher scholarship and requires three additional components:

  • In the cover letter, students should reflect (in one paragraph) on how Harlow’s scholarship and activism might influence their work with the Rapoport Center and their pursuit of human rights and social justice more broadly.
  • During the internship, each recipient will write a piece for our Human Rights Commentary page, which either engages directly with Harlow’s work or uses her work as a lens through which to engage critically with a topic.
  • After the internship, each recipient will create a poster to reflect on the internship, taking into account Harlow’s impact on their experience, and present it at the Annual BDP poster session in April. (Fall and Summer interns will submit at the end of their respective term, and then present in April.)

 

How to Apply: Qualified BDP students should submit their cover letter, resume/C.V, transcript, references, and writing sample through our Harlow internship online application form. Remember: only BDP students may apply for the Barbara Harlow Internship. Students who are not selected for the Barbara Harlow Internship may be considered for our standard undergraduate internship.
