• Rights-based community practice-oriented international educational fellowships in a Master of Social Work that have led to impactful community-academic partnerships in military occupation and prolonged conflict zones are scarce. In this study, 18 semi-structured interviews (11 ICAN fellows and 7 academic leaders) are thematically analyzed, along with 128 documents, within a descriptive multi-site case study in order to examine the collective three-level impact of the 25-year span of the McGill International Community Advocacy Network’s social work fellowship program on the level of fellows, academic institutions, and communities. Study findings align with contingency theory propositions, and point out that the integration of community-academic partnerships within academic institutions depends on the alignment of internal institutional, and external environmental factors that lead academic institutions to integrate these partnerships once fully aligned. Implications for this study entail future social work research, policy, education, and recommendations for peacebuilding
