Mandela fellowship at Oxford
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There is to be a new fellowship at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies: the Nelson Mandela Fellowship, it was announced yesterday.
The South African President (pictured), who will visit Oxford tomorrow to give a lecture on "A new world order", has expressed his support for the centre's contribution to greater understanding between cultures and religion.
Dr Fargan Nizami, centre director, said: "An academic post at Oxford which bears the name of President Nelson Mandela provides important symbolic and practical support for that international dialogue between people of different cultures which is central to the centre's activities."
