DESCRIPTION
The Pauline Jewett Institute of Women's and Gender Studies (Carleton
University) and the Institute of Women's Studies (University of
Ottawa), with the support of the International Development Research
Centre (IDRC), are pleased to launch the second phase of the research
programme on Feminist Perspectives on Globalization. This two-year
(2008-2010) programme offers highly qualified researchers working on
issues of globalization from a feminist perspective, from developing
countries in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, the
Caribbean and the South Pacific, the opportunity to spend a research
term in Ottawa based at one of the two universities.
The Visiting Scholar in Feminist Perspectives on Globalization will
contribute to gender and development research at both universities
and provide a unique opportunity for collaboration between feminist
scholars in Canada and the developing world and between North and
South. The Pauline Jewett Institute of Women's and Gender Studies
and the Institute of Women's Studies will alternate in welcoming one
visiting scholar per year. However, both Institutes look forward to
the opportunity of engaging with the Visiting Scholar.
..
Applications are invited for the 2008-2009 Visiting Scholar in
Feminist Perspectives on Globalization to be based at the Pauline
Jewett Institute of Women's and Gender Studies at Carleton
University. (In 2009-2010, the Visiting Scholar will be based at the
University of Ottawa Institute of Women's Studies.).
REQUIREMENTS:
The position is open to scholars from developing countries (both
tenured and untenured faculty, as well as post-doctoral or
independent scholars) who are pursuing critical feminist research.
Applicants must be fluent in English, have a completed PhD, a record
of scholarly publications, and a current and established research
project in relation to one or more of the research fields listed
below. Individuals currently pursuing a university doctoral degree
are not eligible.
THE FOCUS:
The focus of the Feminist Perspectives on Globalization programme is
on the broad area of the "rights." The theme of Feminist Perspectives
on Globalization targets rights and citizenship of women and girls in
a globalized context. This focus on citizenship is conceptualized
broadly as an interdisciplinary inquiry whereby investigators explore
the multiple layers of citizenship through matrices of social power
in its various cultural, national and transnational contexts. Some
areas of interest include the gendered dimensions of citizenship and
rights in the following thematic areas: peace, conflict and
reconstruction; migration; health; education; environment; and
economic security. The continuation of the Visiting Scholar program
with a focus on citizenship and globalization is a timely and
important initiative.
MORE DETAILS:
During their stay in Canada, the Visiting Scholar will pursue and
present their ongoing research in conferences and seminars as
requested, participate in outreach activities, and produce a paper
based on their ongoing research which reflects their time and work in
Canada. It is anticipated that this research will promote policy
advocacy and/or further gender and development studies and the
effective integration of gender equality into development policy and
programming.
The duration of the Visiting Scholar's stay will be a six (6) month
period within the university's 2008-2009 academic year, which runs
from September 2008 to April 2009. The recipient will receive a
generous stipend to cover travel, research and living expenses
(including medical insurance coverage). The successful applicant will
have access to library services, a shared phone and computer
facilities.
TO APPLY:
Applications may be submitted in English or in French, and must
include: an abbreviated curriculum vitae (10-12 pp.); a letter of
intent outlining the research to be undertaken in Canada (max. 2
pp.); a list of recent publications; availability during the 2008-
2009 academic year; and the names and addresses (postal and e-mail)
of two referees.
