The Southern Institute for Education and Research is accepting applications from graduate and undergraduate college students for unpaid summer internships. Two full-time positions are available to run through August 15, 2008. Interns will be responsible for their own travel and housing. They will collaborate with the Institute's staff on new projects aimed at racial healing and reconciliation in the aftermath of Katrina and promoting effective social justice volunteer service.
Based at Tulane University, the Southern Institute is a non-profit race relations center dedicated to improving ethnic relations in the Deep South through tolerance education and communications training. Founded in 1993, the Southern Institute's programs help young people understand the causes and consequences of prejudice by examining the past. For the adult community, the Southern Institute offers programs on communal trauma and race and a highly acclaimed cross-cultural communication workshop that enables participants to understand and work effectively with people from different cultures.
Interested applicants should send a cover letter and resume to Meredith Bethune at mbethune@tulane.edu by May 20.
