Organisation Background
The Council for At-Risk Academics is a UK-registered charity founded in 1933 under the leadership of William Beveridge[1], to rescue academics suffering persecution under the rise of Nazism and facilitate their continued work in safety. Sixteen Cara Fellows from the 1930s and 1940s became Nobel Laureates, and many more innovators in their fields, including, Nikolaus Pevsner, Lise Meitner and Karl Popper. A number of Cara’s founders and Council members also personally provided places and/or funds to help individual academics; and Cara, known in the 1930s as the AAC, later the SPSL, was closely involved in the successful effort in 1933 to bring to London the Warburg Institute art library, which had been prohibited by the Nazis, and six of its staff.
Cara has been a lifeline to academics at risk for almost 90 years, as and when world events have placed them in the line of fire: Hungarian Uprising, Cold War, Apartheid South Africa, Iran, Latin American Juntas, Vietnam, Kosovo, DRC, Rwanda, Sudan, Zimbabwe etc. and, more recently Iraq, Yemen, Iran, Syria and Ukraine. Cara support provided through its core fellowship programme is typically framed as temporary sanctuary offered at times of heightened risk. The aim of its country programmes is to support those who remain in their country of origin or who have sought safety in neighbouring countries, facilitating professional connection, academic development and continued academic contribution during periods of uncertainty.
Cara Objectives ‘To assist academics who have been, or are, or are at risk of being, subject to discrimination, persecution, suffering or violence on account of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, to relieve needs among them and their dependants and ensure that their specialist knowledge and abilities can continue to be used for the benefit of the public.’
‘To advance education by supporting academics and their educational institutions in countries where their continuing work is at risk or compromised, to ensure that such academics and institutions can continue to fulfil their critical role as educators for the public benefit.’
Cara Syria Programme (SP) in Region
Launched in October 2016, the Cara Syria Programme in Region is now in its sixth year, working predominantly with Syrian academics in exile in Turkey where the greatest number have sought refuge. Cara has over 500 Syrian academics registered on the SP database, of which over 200 who are actively engaged in one of more of the SP activities.
Syria Programme Aim ‘To nurture and enable future opportunities for Syrian academics by facilitating professional connection and collaboration and continued academic development and contribution whilst in exile, as a group that is vital to the future of Syria.’
Syria Programme Activities
- English for Academic Purposes (EAP) an online-learning activity, which combines weekly one-to-one online EAP sessions, with weekly group ‘English Language’ and ‘Speaking Practice’ sessions, supported by 90 university EAP experts in a voluntary capacity.
- Academic Skills Development (ASD) a second online-learning activity combining weekly E-learn Soiree sessions, with a comprehensive online 8-module Foundation Course and ad-hoc short courses responding to identified need. Soiree recordings are made available as an important resource to SP participants through the dedicated closed Cara Syria Programme website.
- Research Incubation Visits (RIVs) 4- to 8-week visits by SP participants to discipline-relevant UK university departments to allow networking, training and the development of a collaborative research project with host academics. It also offers up to 2-year institutional affiliation with continued access to host university online resources post return to country of exile.
- Syria Research Fellowship Scheme (SRFS) provides funding to support research on Syria or Syrian populations in exile, with grants from £1K to £10K. Cara’s partnership model is central to this activity, with project teams partnered with experienced, mainly UK-based, mentors who support the team through the initial development of research proposals and, if successful, through to publication with implementation is led by the Syrian team members. The partnering, in this action-learning strand, aims to ensure that methodology, methods and practices reflect international standards and good practice, as well as delivering rigorous quality publishable outputs. Teams are encouraged where possible to include academic colleagues from their host country, i.e. Turkey.
Online elements of the Programme are supported by a dedicated online Portal.
SP Principal Funders
- Mellon Foundation which funds Arts & Humanities activities.
- Open Society Foundation (OSF) funds all activities regardless of discipline.
