Visiting International Fellowships in Social Justice 

In order to foster the development of research in the area of social justice, 
the School of Law and Social Sciences (LSS) at Glasgow Caledonian University 
(GCU) has established a Visiting International Fellowship Scheme. Visiting 
International Fellows will be established scholars who have a track record in 
contributing to debates about social justice and will, normally, be active in the 
following disciplines, Criminology, History, Law, Politics or Sociology. In 
particular, research interest and expertise in the following fields will be most 
welcome: health inequality, care, disability, human rights, poverty, diversity, 
dignity at work, social history, the history of health and welfare, social 
gerontology, citizenship, violence and security. LSS will welcome, particularly, 
applicants who are interested in collaborative research with members of the 
School. For more information about research and researchers in LSS visit:

An honorarium of 3,000 pounds sterling will be paid to applicants who stay at 
GCU for up to one semester (circa 3 months). One Fellowship with Honorarium 
will be awarded in any one calendar year. Fellows may be appointed for a 
shorter period for up to one month but this will not attract an honorarium. 
Applicants will be established academics and will normally be on paid sabbatical 
leave from their employer. Successful applicants will be expected to pay their 
travel costs to Glasgow and their accommodation and subsistence costs during 
their stay. Visiting international Fellows will have full access to university 
facilities and will be provided with appropriate space to conduct scholarly 
work. 

Applications from persons from underrepresented and disadvantaged sections 
of society are particularly encouraged. Successful applicants may need to 
secure work permits and LSS would expect acknowledgement of its support for 
any publications produced as a result of time spent at Glasgow Caledonian 
University.

Applications should be sent to Michelle Connolly, School Research Coordinator,

Applications for Visiting International Fellowships for up to one month that do 
not attract an honorarium may be made at any point during the year. 
Applications for the honorarium for any given calendar year must be submitted 
by the end of January of the year in which the applicant expects the visit to 
take place (e.g. 31st January 2009 for a 2009 fellowship). Please send a CV 
plus a letter of application outlining your area of interest/expertise and 
research plan for the duration of the visit. Applications may be submitted in 
paper, by post or by email as an attachment. Email submission is preferred.
