Call for Applications: Yahoo! Georgetown Fellowship

Yahoo! Inc established the *Yahoo! International
Values, Communications, Technology, and Global Internet Fellowship Fund
at Georgetown University *in Washington, DC in 2007. The program
supports the education and research activities of an annual Yahoo!
Fellow in Residence. The Yahoo! Fellows come from around the world, from
diverse sectors (including corporations, government, academia, and civil
society), and are responsible for multi-disciplinary research that
explores how diverse international values apply to the development and
use of new communications technologies, with a focus on emerging
markets. The Fellow is expected to consider issues related to
international values-including, as examples, free expression,
regulation, challenges to personal privacy, and the role of civic
organizations in a rapidly expanding global conversation about
technology and values-and the diffusion of information in rapidly
changing global environments.

The current Fellow is Séverine Arsène(info on earlier Yahoo! Fellows is

executives, civic actors, and entrepreneurs), so please feel free to
