2. Visiting Fellowships Religion and Conflict, U of Notre Dame, US
2003-04 Rockefeller Foundation Visiting Fellowships
Application Information
With support from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Kroc Institute invites 
applications for Visiting Fellowships in its Program in Religion, Conflict 
and Peacebuilding (PRCP). The PRCP explores the complex role of religion in 
contemporary conflicts, ranging from the legitimation or sacralization of 
violence, to participation in conflict mediation and reconciliation, to the 
advocacy and practice of nonviolent resistance as a religious imperative.
The program understands religious traditions as evolving, internally 
diverse sets of beliefs, narratives, practices and laws. It explores the 
phenomenon of "lived religion" by examining how religious traditions move 
from sacred scripture or traditional norm to the practical principles which 
guide specific decisions and actions taken in the context of violent 
conflict. Research focuses on three dimensions of this process: the 
relationship between religious ethics, human rights, and attitudes of 
tolerance and intolerance toward the other; religious roles in conflict 
resolution, including conflict within and between religious traditions; and 
the contributions of religious actors to post-conflict reconciliation, 
justice and peacebuilding.
Rockefeller Visiting Fellowships are open to senior and junior scholars in 
the humanities and social sciences, as well as religious leaders and 
peacebuilding practitioners, of any nationality. The PRCP seeks to include 
research by scholars and practitioners with expertise in Hindu, Muslim, 
Jewish, Buddhist, Sikh, or Christian traditions and movements. Visiting 
Fellows will be expected to conduct research in one of the Program's three 
focal areas. For the class of 2003-04, scholars and practitioners who 
propose research on PRCP themes in the African context are particularly 
encouraged to apply, although projects focusing on any region are welcome.
While at the Kroc Institute, all Rockefeller Visiting Fellows will be 
expected to produce an article suitable for publication in the Institute's 
Occasional Paper series, with prospects for subsequent publication in a 
scholarly journal, religious periodical, or other appropriate publication. 
Visiting Fellows will also interact with faculty, graduate and 
undergraduate students, and other Visiting Fellows through presenting 
public lectures, participating in conferences and panel discussions, 
leading classes as a guest lecturer, and meeting with individual scholars 
and students.
The fellowships will ordinarily be for one year. Stipends begin at $30,000 
per year. Visiting Fellows will also be provided with an apartment in the 
Hesburgh Center's residential quarters, an office in the Hesburgh Center 
for International Studies, a computer, an email account, access to the 
internet, and photocopying, faxing and communication facilities. Visiting 
Fellows will also receive full privileges at the Hesburgh Library.
To be considered for a Visiting Fellowship, prospective candidates should 
submit:
a complete CV or resume, including a list of publications
a research proposal of no more than 7 double-spaced pages which includes a 
project summary of no more than 1 page, a project description, a 
description of the research methodology to be employed, and a timetable for 
completion of the project
three letters of reference
The CV and research proposal may be submitted by regular mail or as an 
email attachment in a standard word processing format. Letters of reference 
should be sent directly to the Institute by the person providing the 
reference, and may be sent by regular mail or email. All application 
materials or inquiries about the program should be directed to:
