About Fuller Fellowship in Peacebuilding

Opportunity Details

Fuller Fellows are early or midcareer professionals with demonstrated potential for leadership in the peacebuilding field and who are actively working to promote peace through research, advocacy, policymaking, community practice, or other fields. 

The heart of the program will be a study tour and peacebuilding exchange in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, and Washington, D.C., from October 13 through 24. Fellows will also participate in supplementary virtual seminars with The Asia Foundation’s Peace and Stability and Leadership and Exchange programs.

The evolving complexity of subnational conflict in the 21st century requires significant investment in an emerging generation of committed leaders to innovate and drive solutions for peace. The William P. Fuller Fellowship in Peacebuilding is dedicated to the professional development of the next generation of leaders committed to conflict resolution and peacebuilding in Asia and the Pacific.  

TAF’s board of trustees first established the program in 2004 to honor William Fuller’s 15-year tenure as president. This tribute reflects the organization’s long-standing commitment to the field and Fuller’s particular concern for furthering the professional development of young Asians with the leadership potential and professional commitment to advance knowledge and practice regarding the management of subnational conflicts.
