" "The hope that one day, we as a global society may live in a more interconnected, understanding, and human-centric world is what drives me to do what I am doing. Being able to further this pursuit by using the resources and meeting the goals of the Millennium Fellowship and the UN, as well as utilizing the help of my fellow classmates is an outstanding and unmissable opportunity. I am eager to get started!" "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Migration in Film
The project is a 4 month-long film festival spotlighting Mediterranean migration and maritime rescue organizations, which would be beneficial in advancing SDG 10 as it would bring awareness to the humanitarian crisis that is unfolding in the most deadly migration route in the world. The longer-term goal of this event is to begin building a working group of scholars and students focused on migration and human rights, creating a space for collaboration and community engagement. By initiating relationships between student organizations, university departments, and NGOs, we will lay the groundwork for larger actions, should SOS Méditerranée choose to expand to other migration paths such as the Caribbean. We plan to host 4-6 events between January and May 2026.
About the Millennium Fellow
Benjamin Rabb was born in New York City, then raised in Savannah, Georgia before returning to NYU, pursuing an undergraduate degree in International Relations. He spent this past semester in Florence, Italy, where he studied economics and migration policy. He was recently accepted into the NYU Honors Politics program, where he will be writing a thesis analyzing American misperceptions of current Mexican policy. Though he focuses on qualitative analysis, he is drawn to quantitative politics, assessing datasets pertaining to migrant movement and American opinion. He is grateful for the opportunity to pursue research under the auspices of the Millennium Fellowship.
