Dear Facing South reader,

The Institute for Southern Studies, publisher of Facing South, has extended the application deadline for the 2023 Julian Bond Fellowship program to Monday, Sept. 26, 2022 at 5 p.m. ET.

The Julian Bond Fellowship is an excellent opportunity for an early-career journalist or researcher interested in democracy and justice in the South. Named in honor of the civil rights legend and co-founder of the Institute, the fellowship aims to promote new voices in Southern media and support public interest journalists and researchers in the South.

Now entering its fourth year, the Fellowship is a nine-month, full-time position. Fellows will be provided a $5,000 monthly stipend, and additional resources for training, conferences, and research expenses. While the Institute will entertain applications from prospective fellows who seek to conduct their fellowship remotely, preference will be given to applicants who plan to be based at the Institute's offices in Durham, North Carolina.

Visit here for more information or to submit an application. Questions? Email us at [email protected]. No phone calls. Please help us spread the word about this opportunity.

Thank you,

Sue Sturgis, Editorial Director
