New America Announces Seven Inaugural Scholars of the Afghanistan Observatory Initiative
The seven scholars have a demonstrated commitment to peacebuilding, good governance, and the defense of human rights in Afghanistan.
The New America Fellows Program supports thinkers, creators, and storytellers whose work shapes public conversation on the defining issues of our time. Each year, we select a diverse group of writers, journalists, filmmakers, and innovators who pursue ambitious investigative projects that bridge storytelling with research and lived experience.
Through unrestricted funding, a supportive community, and increased visibility, New America Fellows bring big, bold ideas to life—through books, films, longform articles, podcasts, and other creative nonfiction narrative forms.
