Internship Opportunities
Successful completion of either PAX 92a/b (Internship in Peace, Conflict, and Coexistence Studies) or a senior honors thesis is a core requirement for studies in the Peace & Conflict Studies program.
The internship consists of at least 10 hours a week in a social change organization in the greater Boston area or, if the student is abroad, an appropriate equivalent. The intern is supervised by a PAX professor or staff person, keeps a daily journal, presents and does the reading of a bibliography on the topic of the internship and its larger framework, and writes a paper of 15-20 pages at the end of the internship.
The student is expected to meet weekly or biweekly with the supervisor and to e-mail weekly or biweekly if doing the work abroad. Internships are organized around but not limited to those we find through the Hiatt Career Center.
Possible intern sites and experiences should be approved by Prof. Gordon Fellman before they are undertaken. Students are responsible for choosing their intern sites.
