March 01, 2023

 

 

 The Weatherhead Center for International Affairs is pleased to announce the Hicham Alaoui Fellowship Fund, made possible by a generous gift from Advisory Committee member Prince Moulay Hicham Ben Abdallah Alaoui of Morocco. The fund will support postdoctoral research on the Middle East/North Africa region, with a particular focus on climate change, for three one-year terms. Postdoctoral fellows will be selected through the Weatherhead Scholars Program application process, with a yearly deadline of November 1 of the preceding academic year.

 Dr. Hicham Alaoui, a staunch defender of human rights, democratic reform, and social movements, founded the Hicham Alaoui Foundation in 2009, a nonprofit private foundation supporting social science research on the Arab world at leading global universities, among other initiatives. In 2016–2018, Dr. Alaoui participated in the Weatherhead Fellows Program (now the [Weatherhead Scholars Program](https://scholarsprogram.wcfia.harvard.edu/)). He earned his PhD at the University of Oxford, specializing in religion and democracy in the Middle East.
