About FASPE Business Fellowship
Opportunity Details
FASPE Business Fellows examine the motivations and conduct of businesses and business executives in enabling and executing Nazi policies. FASPE then draws on these historical examples to help Business Fellows grasp their role and responsibility as individuals with influence in their communities; and to encourage them to identify and confront the ethical issues currently facing businesses and business professionals.
Each year, FASPE Business awards fellowships to 13 to 16 graduate business students and early-career business professionals. Fellows spend two weeks in Berlin and Poland, where they visit key sites of Nazi history and participate in daily seminars led by specialized faculty. The program couples the power of place with academic rigor and many informal opportunities for creative exchange.
