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 2002-2003
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.
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 with expertise in South or West Asia, North Africa or the
Middle East
may apply for one of the three special one-semester Ford Associateships for
Fall 2002, 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 Hampshire College. The research of Ford applicants should focus on
gender and race, ethnicity, class and/or sexuality within the context
of nationalism
and/or militarism. Preference given to those whose work crosses traditional
academic boundaries. Applications welcomed from writers, visual
artists, film and
video makers, as well as academic scholars. Ford applicants may work on any and
all regions of the world and 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 one-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 8, 2002.
