Application Form Addendum

There is no form for the addendum. Applicants should compose a one page, single--sided document that succinctly answers all five questions listed on the application form. (Not one page per question, but one page for all questions combined).

Howdy from the Webweaver... I am working on the site late at night and It just keeps getting more beautiful. As soon as the header is reworked, the site will pop.

Internships

Special Focus Projects for Interns

WILPF is currently working on two Focus Projects:

Genocide and High Tech Torture: Tales from the Congo

-- From the glamour and rarity of diamonds to the common cell phone, African resources flow out of the country through multi-national funnels. This process benefits only foreign interests while destitutes and spoils the current colony.

Militarization of Fashion: Examines societal buy-in to the War Culture.

-- If Fashion distinguishes us and uniforms unite us then dressing in a uniform as a statement of style indicates that we dress to kill, daily. This project challenges us to expose this trend and to notice the prevalence of military culture in civilian life.
