The Scholars at Risk Program at Harvard has been the largest, most vigorously active, and most successful program of its kind in the country, and perhaps in the world. A member of an international network of participating universities, Harvard SAR has provided sanctuary to dozens of professors, lecturers, researchers, artists, writers, and other intellectuals who are at risk. The risk may be related to the scholar’s work, but it may also be a consequence of the scholar’s ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or political opinions. By supplying ten-month or year-long academic positions to excellent and accomplished scholars in need, Harvard SAR helps scholars to escape dangerous conditions and to continue their important work. Most fellowships are awarded for the upcoming academic year, but SAR at Harvard does accept emergency applications whenever possible. FXB Director of Research, Jacqueline Bhabha, JD, MSc, is Co-Chair of the Scholars at Risk Committee.
