DAVID MIXNER LGBTQ+ FELLOWSHIP

The Institute of Current World Affairs advances American understanding of international cultures and affairs by sending outstanding young professionals abroad on two-year independent writing fellowships to study countries, regions and globally important issues. ICWA nurtures the kind of deep understanding future generations will need to ensure America’s role in the world is informed by wisdom, foresight and compassion. That is why we are developing the two-year David Mixner LGBTQ+ ICWA Fellowship. David is a global leader in politics and human rights with a focus on LGBTQ+ issues. We aim to fully fund this named fellowship in his honor to advance understanding of the challenges facing global LGBTQ+ rights, announcing it in celebration of his 75th birthday in August 2021.
