Dear Friends, Jai Bhim from all of us at Krantijyoti Savitribai Phule Women's Studies Centre, University of Pune. We would like to bring to your notice information regarding our interdisciplinary postgraduate programme - MA in Gender, Culture and Development Studies. The admission process for this course shall begin in another fortnight. Krantijyoti Savitribai Phule Women's Studies Centre at the University of Pune is one of the few centres which sees the gender question as essentially linked to the caste question in India. The courses and research at this centre have focused on Phule-Ambedkarite/abrahmani feminisms in India. The Centre's MA course has been planned in ways that will encourage students to think critically, develop reading,comprehension, argumentation skills through bridge courses. The Course is a part of the centre's commitment to reinventing higher education to address the question of egalitarianism in the practices and content of higher education. We are keen to have students who want to join us in this exercise of transforming Higher Education. The Navajbai Ratan Tata Trust offers 4 Fellowships to students in the Masters and Diploma Programme. Limited seats in the university hostel for both boys and girls are available. The Centre may assist informally in finding suitable accomodation for other out-station students. The Earn-and-Learn Scheme of the University can also be availed by students. We request you to pass this information to members of your network and others who you think will be interested in doing an MA in Gender, Culture and Development Studies. We have attached the following with this email which can be forwarded to those interested: 1. Write up on MA course (introducing the course and the centre) 2. MA course flyer (capsule shot of the entire course) 3. MA course handbill (detailing the papers in the various semesters) For more information please call 020-25601300 or check out: http://www.unipune.ac.in/snc/womens_studies_centre/default.htm Warmly, Dr. Sharmila Rege Director Krantijyoti Savitribai Phule Women's Studies Centre
