The DuBois Nubian Junior Research Fellowship is a summer job for high school students to study ancient Nubia and current topics in African and African American studies. They meet in person at Harvard University twice each week, online three days each week. Guided by undergraduates and expert lecturers, students study, discuss and write about a variety of topics related to the African kingdom of Nubia and to life in the black community. In doing so they sharpen their academic skills, build a network of peers and role models and learn about important aspects of African American studies.
