The Lily Safra Internship Program is funded by the
Edmond J. Safra Philanthopic Foundation.
The Lily Safra Internship Program provides undergraduate students a variety of opportunities to learn about the work of Jewish women's studies scholars and centers, and try their hand at research in the field. Interns assist with ongoing HBI research and develop their own individual projects. Weekly outings to research archives and places of Jewish interest, and discussions with Jewish Studies and Women’s Studies scholars, expose interns to various methodologies and academic frameworks. Interns are paid a stipend and receive subsidized housing.
Individual projects are an opportunity for interns to explore
an area of Jewish women's studies of personal interest. Each
intern is expected to produce a work –an academic paper,
a short story, a website – that is original, personally
meaningful, and draws on creative and intellectual energies.
Past projects have included a Jewish Women’s Health
bibliography, a short film about the spiritual meaning of
challah making, and a study of female protagonists of children’s
Holocaust literature.
The Lily Safra Internship Program runs from June 11th through August 5th 2008 and is open to undergraduate students from the United States and abroad. There is no US residency requirement.
