The Libertas Council welcomes Victoria Jones as a 2026 Clapham Fellow. Victoria is a J.D. Candidate at Vanderbilt University Law School. Her work is driven by a commitment to affirming human dignity and serving those who have experienced exploitation. Victoria’s passion for this work grew out of direct advocacy with survivors of domestic violence, where she walked alongside individuals navigating crisis, safety planning, and the legal system. She seeks to use her legal training as a tool to confront injustice and advance freedom and is thrilled to begin doing so as a Clapham Fellow.
The Clapham Fellowship, named for the Clapham Group that collectively pioneered the abolishment of the British slave trade in the 19th century through tenacious advocacy, politics, the arts, and business, is a unique opportunity for graduate students and postgraduates to collaborate with leaders around the world to advance freedom today.
Throughout their tenure, Clapham Fellows work closely with the Libertas Council and Global Libertas Fellows to understand the context and parameters of a problem involving combating human trafficking, advancing freedom, and affirming human dignity. Clapham Fellows provide the critical research and support necessary for identifying interventions that affect change.
