Applications are ongoing for the Association Commonwealth Universities (ACU) Martha Farrell Memorial Fellowship 2018. The Fellowship will draw on the Martha Farrell Foundation’s expertise to offer a staff member from an ACU member university training and support to enable them to introduce an effective anti-sexual harassment initiative at their home university.
The fellowship offers a one-week training programme hosted by the Martha Farrell Foundation in New Delhi, India. As part of the application, you will need to submit an outline action plan showing how your home institution can address the issue of sexual harassment on campus. The training received will offer practical solutions and advice for the implementation of the plan.
Six months after returning to their institution, the fellow will submit a detailed report showing how the training has enabled them to put their action plan into effect. Travel will take place in September or October 2018. The exact dates will be discussed with the successful applicant.
