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 2007-2008 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, 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. Regular Research Associateships are non-stipendiary. We accept about 15 Research Associates per year. International applicants may also apply for one of the two one-semester FORD ASSOCIATESHIPS for Fall 2007 or Spring 2008, which offer a stipend of $12,000, plus a $3,000 housing/travel allowance in return for teaching (in English) one undergraduate course in the Department of Gender Studies at Mount Holyoke College or the Program for the Study of Women and Gender at Smith College. For Fall 2007 or Spring 2008, Mount Holyoke College seeks a researcher in transnational gender studies, with a focus on militarization, globalization, transnational feminisms, or a related topic. Preference will go to an experienced teacher who can contribute a course on "Gender and Power in Global Contexts." For Spring 2008, Smith College seeks a researcher who is also an experienced teacher with expertise in the fields of human rights, development and the environment, with a focus on women and gender. Ford Associates 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/gender 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 12, 2007.
