Mission Statement

The mission of the University of Michigan is to serve the people of Michigan and the world through preeminence in creating, communicating, preserving and applying knowledge, art, and academic values, and in developing leaders and citizens who will challenge the present and enrich the future.

Who We Are

The Raoul Wallenberg Institute at the University of Michigan is proud to announce the launch of a new fellowship program for scholars of all academic ranks. 

The Wallenberg Institute fosters the values embodied by Raoul Wallenberg empathy, tolerance, and leadership by studying hatred directed against religious and ethnic communities, fostering cross-cultural understanding, and elevating civic discourse. Through teaching, research, and public engagement, the institute will develop strategies to combat antisemitism, divisiveness, and discrimination.

Responsibilities*

The Wallenberg fellowships will support original research, scholarship, and public-facing or community-based projects that support the mission of the Institute. Fellows will have the time and resources to work on their own projects while contributing to the university community. Research fellowships are renewable on an annual basis for up to a total of three years, contingent on satisfactorily meeting the terms of the fellowship. Fellows who extend to second and third years will be required to either teach one course per year (in years two and three) or contribute equivalent service (such as curatorial work, student engagement, or public outreach). Scholars are also welcome to apply for single semester or single year fellowships. We are looking for a diverse range of scholars and practitioners to create a dynamic and innovative environment of research and collaboration.
