Siena internships run for a minimum of four weeks (six weeks is the preferable length). Due to the wide scope of the internships, there is much room to accommodate the students' individual qualifications and interests.
Interns must attend the Tulane Siena program to be qualified for these positions. All internships will begin after the Siena program, working based on the knowledge gained there.
ROME INTERNSHIP
Each year, the UNIDROIT Secretariat is willing to host one Siena program student to collaborate with the officer in charge of the area of cultural property law. The selected intern will have the opportunity to conduct research and prepare concept notes on one of the Institute's current work program subjects, or on work associated with other UNIDROIT instruments.
The internship will run from late June to late July. Knowledge of another language than English is not required but appreciated. The internship is not remunerated and interns are required to have adequate medical insurance coverage during their stay in Rome.
THE INSTITUTE OF ART AND LAW IN LONDON
The Institute of Art and Law in London will offer a virtual internship for one student after the conclusion of the Siena Summer Program. https://ial.uk.com/
The Institute of Art and Law is an educational organisation, founded in 1995, giving knowledge and perspective on the law relating to cultural heritage, a concept which includes art, antiquities, archives, archaeology, architecture, monuments, treasure and much more. IAL’s educational remit is fulfilled through publishing and courses. It convenes distance learning and intensive courses (both public and in-house) on art and museums law, as well as seminars, study groups and conferences in the United Kingdom and abroad. It also publishes books and commentaries on all aspects of the law relating to cultural heritage, in addition to a quarterly periodical, Art Antiquity and Law, now in its twenty-sixth year.
THE ANTIQUITIES COALITION
The Antiquities Coalition is a not-for-profit organization that coordinates international and domestic efforts to protect cultural property. The organization’s website can be found here: https://theantiquitiescoalition.org/
The Coalition would expect at least 20 hours a week, but would prefer interns work full time. The work can be done remotely, although students working from New Orleans could meet as frequently as necessary with Terressa Davis, the Executive Director of the Coalition.
The Antiquities Coalition is still confirming the number of internship positions they will have available for Siena students in Summer 2023.
INTERNSHIP HOUSING
For the all of the Siena internships, participants are responsible for arranging their own housing accommodations.
