In summer of 2022, the Fellows selected for this competitive program will spend four weeks in Ireland, following in the footsteps of Frederick Douglass. Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs will co-sponsor the 2022 Frederick Douglass Global Fellows to continue the legacy project created to honor the 175th anniversary of the meeting between 27-year-old abolitionist Frederick Douglass and the Irish reformer Daniel O'Connell in Dublin in 1845.

Through visits across the country and an academic course entitled Leadership, Peace, and Conflict Resolution, Fellows will explore the life stories, leadership styles, and legacies of Frederick Douglass and Daniel O'Connell.

Frederick Douglass Global Fellows will be chosen based on demonstrated leadership, effective communication, experience in agitating for positive change, and a commitment to cross-cultural respect and understanding.

Please apply by the application deadline of February 14, Frederick Douglass' adopted birthday.

All eligible students who complete the fellowship application but are not selected as Fellows will receive a $1,500 grant towards any CIEE summer 2022, fall 2022, or spring 2023 program. Known as the Frederick Douglass Scholars Grant, this award is matched by many colleges and universities, making an international education experience financially attainable for many more students from diverse backgrounds.

Drawing on narratives from hundreds of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous individuals, the speaker examines the experiences of underrepresented racially minoritized students and faculty members who have succeeded in STEM. Based on this extensive research, Ebony McGee advocates for structural and institutional changes to address racial discrimination, stereotyping, and hostile environments in an effort to make the field more inclusive. The lecture is based on McGee's book, of the same name, which was published in 2020.
