The Lily Safra Internship Program
The Lily Safra Internship Program provides undergraduate students an opportunity 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 additional funds for housing.
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 12th through August 4th and is open to undergraduate students from the United States and abroad. There is no US residency requirement.
