> activists, both local and international. Associates are provided with
> offices in our spacious facility, computer access, library privileges,

> 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
