The Colloquium on Natural Resource Governance, Inequality & Human Rights will address the human rights issues that arise in the context of natural resource extraction and governance, especially in relation to resources such as fossil fuels, minerals and timbers. Natural resource governance is fundamentally about who can decide which resources can be used by whom and about how decision-making around these questions should be undertaken. The outcomes of such decision-making have profound consequences for the distribution of wealth, power, authority and risk exposure at the local, national and international levels. Lectures will examine how persistent inequalities between and within countries pose additional challenges for the realization of human rights in relation to natural resource extraction.

Students will use court records and information provided at expunction intake clinics to draft petitions and orders for expunction or nondisclosure of criminal records. Expunging records allows people to legally deny offenses and erases records from criminal histories, mitigating future harm stemming from arrests that do not result in a criminal conviction. Orders of nondisclosure direct police departments and other agencies not to disclose criminal records on background checks, and allow a person to not disclose offenses on applications for housing or employment

3Ls: the Third Way Fellows Program is a full-time, 12-month program that comes with a $50,000 annual stipend, two weeks paid vacation, and benefits. But it also comes with the opportunity to meet with top Washington policy players; to co-author papers and produce new ideas, research, and insights; to learn our methodology; and to leverage our wide-ranging DC network into future career opportunities.

Every September our four policy programs welcome a new Fellow for the year – during that time, the Fellows take on projects and produce papers and reports with guidance from the program vice presidents. They interact with policy and decision-makers, thinkers and talkers. They are published in major print and online periodicals. They take advantage of Third Way’s ever-growing network of public policy professionals and go on to find fulfilling work at other think tanks, congressional committees, private-sector firms, advocacy organizations, and the federal government.

During your time at Third Way you will learn skills in:

∙ Workflow Management ∙ Leveraging Polarities ∙ Meeting Facilitation and Participation ∙ Parallel Thinking ∙ Dynamic Presentation and Communication ∙ Creativity ∙ Design Thinking ∙ Networking and interview skills

If you are an ideologically rebellious, fresh-thinking policy wonk willing to listen and learn, we’d like you to join us.

Apply by March 1, 2017, to start in September 2017.

If you have any questions, email fellowship@thirdway.org.
