THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
Centre for Research in Women's Studies and Gender Relations
Visiting Scholar Program 1998-99
THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA offers a Visiting Scholar
Program as an integral part of its Centre for Research in Women's Studies
and Gender Relations. Scholars working in these areas are encouraged to
apply to spend leave time (one to six months) in affiliation with the
Centre. The goal of the Centre is to stimulate feminist research and to
facilitate interchange of ideas and collaboration among scholars, at U.B.C.
and elsewhere. Scholars will be expected to participate in the activities
of the Centre and to give a public lecture in the Centre's "Lecture Series"
during their term.
The Visiting Scholar programme is open to faculty, both untenured
and tenured, as well as to independent scholars who are engaged in critical
work on women and gender, who are not currently working on a higher degree
at any institution and who reside in areas outside the B.C. Lower Mainland.
Scholars from "developing" countries are encouraged to apply. In its
selection of visitors, the Centre hopes to create a diverse community of
junior and senior scholar-researchers. The Centre is particularly
interested in applicants who work in the area of Women & Film and/or Women
and Development. These two topics will be the focus of events at the
Centre during 1998-99.
Funds are limited and are not available for salary. Their
permanent geographical location and their other forms of supports will
determine the level of assistance available to successful applicants.
Normally, no one residing in North America will be eligible for more than
$1000 in assistance.
Scholars will normally be provided with shared office space, phone,
access to a computer and secretarial assistance. The University's academic
year runs from September to April, therefore applicants are encouraged to
schedule the majority of their visit to the Centre during these months.
Scholars will normally only receive funding on one occasion.
Applications must include:
- curriculum vitae,
- a detailed statement of research plans for the time period,
- the length of time for which they are applying and the beginning
date,
- an indication of required funding.
The applicant must also arrange to have two referees forward their
assessments to: Visiting Scholar Program, Centre for Research in Women's
Studies and Gender Relations, 1896 East Mall, University of B.C.,
Vancouver Canada, V6T 1Z1.
The closing date for receipt of applications is October 31st, 1997
