FASPE Business Fellowship
📖 About FASPE Business Fellowship
The FASPE Business Fellowship examines the motivations and conduct of businesses and business executives in enabling and executing Nazi policies. The program uses these historical examples to help Business Fellows understand their roles and responsibilities as individuals with influence in their communities. It also encourages them to identify and confront the ethical issues currently facing businesses and business professionals.
Each year, 13 to 16 graduate business students and early-career business professionals are awarded fellowships. Fellows spend two weeks in Berlin and Poland, visiting key sites of Nazi history and participating in daily seminars led by specialized faculty. The program combines the power of place with academic rigor and informal opportunities for creative exchange.
