The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) *
*Carleton University-University of Ottawa *
*School Year 2008-2009*
*Visiting Scholar in Feminist Perspectives on Globalization*
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.) 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 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.
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.
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
