[Wigsat-l] Campbell Fellowship for Women Scholar-Practitioners from Developing Nations

[Sophia Huyer]

Campbell Fellowship for Women Scholar-Practitioners
from Developing Nations

School for Advanced Research, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA

One six-month fellowship is available for a female social scientist  
from a developing nation, either
pre- or post-doctoral, whose work addresses women’s economic and  
social empowerment in that nation.
The goal of the program is twofold: to advance the scholarly careers  
of women social scientists from
the developing world, and to support research that identifies causes  
of gender inequity in the developing
world and that proposes practical solutions for promoting women’s  
economic and social empowerment.
The fellowship is expected to start on September 1, 2010 and run  
through February 28, 2011.
In addition to a $4,500/month stipend, and housing and office space on  
the SAR campus, the Campbell
Fellow receives travel, shipping, and library resource funds; health  
insurance; and the support of a
mentoring committee of established scholar-practitioners.

The following criteria guide SAR’s selection of the Campbell Fellow:

• Citizenship: Applicants may not be U.S. citizens or permanent  
residents and must be a national of a
developing country that is currently eligible to borrow from the World  
Bank
(see http://go.worldbank.org/S2ADVPZVX0 for the current list of  
eligible countries).

• Academic Discipline: Applicants should be pursuing research in one  
of the social sciences:
anthropology, economics, education, geography, history, law,  
linguistics, political science,
psychology, social work, or sociology, or in an interdisciplinary  
field that incorporates two
or more of these disciplines.

• Research Topic: Projects that identify causes of and/or solutions to  
gender inequity in the
developing world, and thus contribute to women’s social and economic  
empowerment, will be
favored. Sample topics include education and socialization of girls;  
globalization and the economic
status of women; policies and practices toward family, reproduction,  
and women’s health; impacts
of international and civil conflict on women; women’s roles in  
resolving such conflicts or sustaining
civil society; media representations of women and the formation of  
ideologies of gender; the
practice and process of gender-based development; and women in science  
and technology.
SAR will select fellows on the strength of their clearly stated  
intention to serve their communities
and countries of origin.

• English Fluency: To facilitate full engagement in the SAR  
intellectual community, applicants must
demonstrate their fluency in English, such as through their record of  
professional interaction in
written and spoken English.

The application deadline is November 1. Applications must include:
