FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
FIVE COLLEGE WOMEN'S STUDIES RESEARCH CENTER A collaborative project of Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith Colleges and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst
The Center invites applications for its Research Associateships for 2003-2004 from scholars and teachers at all levels of the educational system, as well as from artists, community organizers and political activists, both local and international. Associates are provided with offices in our spacious facility, computer access, library privileges, and the collegiality of a diverse community of feminists. Research Associate applications are accepted for either a semester or the academic year. The Center supports projects in all disciplines so long as they focus centrally on women or gender. Research Associateships are non-stipendiary. However, international applicants may apply for one of the two special one-semester Ford Associateships for Fall 2003 or Spring 2004, which offer a stipend of $12,000, plus a $3,000 housing/travel allowance in return for teaching (in English) one undergraduate women's studies course at Smith College. Ford applicants' research should focus on how the economics of globalization regulate gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, class, and sexuality in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, the former Soviet bloc, or Asia. We are searching for two Ford Associate positions. For one position preference will be given to those whose work focuses on sexuality in a global context, including sex work, global sex trafficking, health issues, international gay and lesbian activism and advocacy for sexual minorities. For the second position, preference will be given to those whose work focuses on cultural production and resistance, including political performance, the transformation and use of international media, and new technologies. Ford applicants need not be studying their own region of origin.
Applicants for both programs should submit a project proposal (up to 4 pages), curriculum vitae, two letters of reference, and application cover sheet. In addition, Ford applicants should submit a two-page description of a women's studies course they are prepared to teach, which includes their pedagogical goals and techniques.
Submit all applications to: Five College Women's Studies Research Center Mount Holyoke College 50 College Street South Hadley, MA 01075-6406
Deadline is February 10, 2003
