(NAME-MCE) Fellowships for doctoral students of color interested in environmental & sustainability issues - Feb 1 deadline

[Anselmo Villanueva]

Doctoral students of color interested in environmental and sustainability
issues are invited to take part in a four-day, fully-funded fellowship program
sponsored by the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival (FLEFF). Under the
auspices of Ithaca College, FLEFF is a weeklong multimedia festival that aims
to examine all forms of the environment and sustainability in the context of
global politics, economics and aesthetics. Now in its 11th year, FLEFF 2008
will be held at Ithaca College the first week of April. FLEFF fellowships run
from April 3 to 6, 2008.

FLEFF Fellows will have the opportunity to take part in all the screenings join
in classroom discussions, and meet visiting artists, speakers and filmmakers.
The fellows will also meet with festival organizers, sponsors and affiliated
faculty. Now in its second year, the FLEFF fellowship program demonstrates
Ithaca College's commitment to enhancing diversity at
the festival and to encouraging scholars from all disciplines to
learn more about sustainability.

The FLEFF Fellowship Program began last year with 10 FLEFF fellows
choosing from more than 150 festival events, including galas, films,
videos, music, multimedia events and discussions designed to provoke
new ways of looking at the world.

Doctoral students from underrepresented groups in higher education
are encouraged to apply by Feb. 1, 2008. The fellowship covers all
travel costs, room, board and Festival passes. For more information,
