>
>The Center invites applications for its Research Associateships for
>2003-2004 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. Research Associate
>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 may apply for one of the two special
>one-semester Ford Associateships for Fall 2003 or Spring 2004, 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 Smith
>College.  Ford applicants' research should focus on how the economics of
>globalization regulate gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, class, and
>sexuality in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, the
>former Soviet bloc, or Asia. We are searching for two Ford Associate
>positions. For one position preference will be given to those whose work
>focuses on sexuality in a global context, including sex work, global sex
>trafficking, health issues, international gay and lesbian activism and
>advocacy for sexual minorities. For the second position, preference will
>be given to those whose work focuses on cultural production and
>resistance, including political performance, the transformation and use of
>international media, and new technologies. Ford applicants 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 two-page description
>of a women's studies course they are prepared to teach, which includes
