Today, Equimundo announces its call for the first-ever Equimundo Writing Fellows (PWF) cohort. For one year, this diverse group of individuals will contribute their perspectives on healthy masculinities in an effort to promote gender equality and create a world free from violence.
In bringing together a cohort of thoughtful writers, while centering the voices of young men, young women, and young people of all gender identities, LGBTQIA+ folks, people of color, and individuals at the intersections of these identities, the PWFs will create a collection of stories, drawing on news, culture, and data that will amplify a spectrum of voices and evolving perspectives around healthy masculinity.
Who Should Apply
Equimundo invites writers and advocates alike to apply to join the 2019-2020 Equimundo Writing Fellows cohort. The ideal candidate is interested in reimagining the future of positive masculinities and discussing men’s roles in advancing gender equality, all while engaging with Equimundo’s groundbreaking research along with pop culture, politics, personal experiences, and anything in between.
How It Works
Equimundo Writing Fellows will contribute short-form pieces to a newly launched Medium collection. Each piece may be pitched independently to Equimundo staff and/or written in response to a call for stories around a particular topic or piece of research. Members of the cohort may also have opportunities to work with Equimundo in additional ways, such as through engagement in campaigns or events. All writing fellows will be compensated for their published stories.
Selection Criteria
PWFs will be selected based upon their ability to provide a valuable and unique perspective to Equimundo’s communications, to author high-quality content, and to meaningfully contribute to the US and global dialogue on healthy, positive masculinities and on men’s roles in achieving gender equality.
