Although we have a regular intern program, we try to tailor individual internships to the specific goals of the students.

All interns have the opportunity to work directly with the Institute director, as well as with other interns and our network of consultants. While the projects vary, internships are quarter-time (8-10 hours a week on a flexible schedule). Of that time, approximately one-fourth is assigned to office routines and three-fourths to research, writing, design, or administrative problems. Here's a capsule version:

Research: Assist at all levels in on-going projects and/or in the initiation of new projects. The research is basically social psychological or sociological in orientation and applied in perspective. Interns will have the opportunity to learn about research design, interviewing and questionaire construction as well as data analysis. We also do archival research and content analyses and maintain extensive files on ethnoviolence and discrimination.

Design: We maintain a website, publish a newsletter and factsheets, and produce numerous reports and brochures. This is an opportunity for someone to sharpen their desktop publishing and design skills while building their portfolio.

Administrative: For students who want to learn how a small nonprofit organization works, we can provide the full range of opportunities and experience.

Writing: For journalism and public relations majors as well as for those interested in a writing career, you can join us in the production of our bimonthly newsletter and in a variety of other writing projects.You can look forward to an intensive experience not only in skills learning but also in a solid learning of the issues of race and ethnic relations in the U.S. today.
