DEADLINE: The Global Migration Institute and Bridging Divides Journalism Fellowship Program

The Global Migration Institute and Bridging Divides Journalism Fellowship invites experienced journalists to apply for a prestigious one-month residency at Toronto Metropolitan University, a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research on migration and integration and build relationships with leading scholars and policy thinkers in Canada and beyond.

This fellowship is designed for staff or freelance journalists with a proven track record in covering immigration, politics, social issues, global affairs or the economy, who are eager to enrich their reporting through deeper insight into migration dynamics. This is a rare chance to step away from the newsroom, immerse yourself in a focused period of learning and exchange, and bring sharper depth and authority to your journalism. During the residency, the fellow will be encouraged to share with researchers their perspectives on journalism practice and effective ways to communicate research with the media. There is no expectation that journalists will produce stories about TMU during or after their residency.
