From: Monique Mironesco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Rockefeller Humanities Fellowship Gender and Globalization in Asia and the Pacific Office for Women's Research University of Hawai`i at Manoa What is meant by globalization, and how are women active in, and acted upon by, the processes involved in globalization? This program, under the auspices of the Office for Women's Research and the Women's Studies Program at the University of Hawai`i, is focused on addressing these and related questions. Research themes include: women and economic transformation; women's health globally; migration/refugees/diaspora movements and communities; militarism and global violence; domestic violence and victimization; gender, race and representation; global connections of indigenous peoples; and reparation movements and interracial justice. We seek scholars from Asia-Pacific and other nations who wish to extend or initiate work on gender and globalization within an Asia-Pacific context. Work that spans and links diverse disciplines and addresses one or more of the themes will be particularly favored, as will work that speaks to audiences both inside and outside of the university. The University of Hawai`i is uniquely positioned to support the cross-disciplinary study of the complex dynamics connecting gender and race to globalization. Our location at the hub of the Pacific Rim makes this an ideal site for bringing together scholars from around the world to study the complex and changing faces of globalization. The diverse ethnic and racial population of the islands, with its own complex history of western colonialism and labor immigration from Japan, China, the Philippines and elsewhere makes Hawai`i itself a microcosm of globalization within its own shores. Application Deadlines: For Fall 2003, December 1, 2002; for Spring 2004, April 1, 2003.
