As a PhD student who doesn’t believe in being locked up in the library, BKC was a great place to meet, interact, and collaborate with like-minded people from diverse disciplines and different backgrounds. I especially enjoyed the ability to translate my academic knowledge into practice and to think with enthusiastic colleagues how can we broaden the scope of our work and expand it beyond the BKC network,” Doaa Abu-Elyounes
“BKC is different from any other academic institution because of its uniquely diverse community which brings together scholars, activists, and practitioners from all corners of the world. The scholars at BKC may speak a dozen languages but they share a collective passion for inquiry and pushing intellectual boundaries.

I believe it was one of the most enriching experiences I’ve ever had,” Emad Khazraee

Being a fellow not only introduced me to different ways to think through my work, but it also provided me the space to experiment with ideas and concepts that I think of as integral to my post-graduate school career. The Center is a space that fosters the pushing of boundaries in our work while providing a safe and supportive cocoon within which to do so,” james Wahutu
“One of the many advantages to this fellowship for me has been consistent support and enthusiasm about discussing issues related to race, diversity, racism, and justice.

You’ll find lots of encouragement for your submission!” Jenny Korn

“I have been in several academic institutions, in multiple countries, and Berkman broke all of my expectations of what an academic institution is… Berkman is an academic institution, and yet more a community than an ivory tower, aiming to combine grassroots flavours without ignoring its privilege. Who would have said that I would find this, and in the middle of Harvard!” Samer Hassan
“Berkman Klein became a supportive community of people I can count on to read a draft of something I write before I post it, or to talk through a difficult decision and urge me to find my own voice.
