The New School: Lebanon - Beirut Field Program

Open Society Foundations (OSF) are the world's largest private funder of independent groups working for justice, democratic governance, and human rights. The Foundations' Global Drug Policy Program works with policymakers, academics, and grassroots organizations to challenge and question the way the world approaches drugs and drug policy. Organizations supported through grants by the Global Drug Policy Program reinforce the mission statement of the program: to promote drug policies rooted in human rights, sustainable development, social justice, and public health. This summer, the Global Drug Policy Program is piloting its first IFP, a program that will reflect students' academic interests and motivations. Graduate students can apply for an internship in Europe with an NGO in London or a foundation in Warsaw, Poland, or in the Middle East with a treatment center in Beirut, Lebanon. With the help of the faculty advisor and host organization, students will carry out their own independent research project that focuses on the effects drugs have on international and cross-cultural issues such as human rights, gender expression, social justice, governance, public health, and development.
