Avant le 31 janvier
Visiting scholar positions for doctoral students and post-doctoral scholars for 2011 are now open for competition in the GEXcel theme 11-12 : Gender Paradoxes in Academic and Scientific Organisations, at Örebro University, Sweden.
Background to Gexcel :
Örebro and Linköping Universities, Sweden, are the base for the Centre of Gender Excellence - Gendering Excellence (GEXcel) : Towards a European Centre of Excellence in Transnational and Transdisciplinary Studies of Changing Gender Relations, Intersectionalities and Embodiment. With support from the Swedish Research Council, GEXcel is carrying out new research and seeks to become the foundation for a more permanent International Collegium for Advanced Transnational and Transdisciplinary Gender Studies. For more information on GEXcel, please see :
A Visiting Scholars Programme has been organized to attract scholars at different career stages from Sweden and abroad with a variety of disciplinary backgrounds. The visiting scholars will carry out thematically organized, joint gender research, under the direction of one or two of the professors responsible for the GEXcel programme, and collaborate with invited senior researchers.
GEXcel theme 11-12 : Gender Paradoxes in Academic and Scientific Organisations is going on all academic year 2011. The theme is directed by Liisa Husu, Guest Professor in Gender Studies at Örebro University. There are two peak periods, May 2011 and mid-September-October 2011, with a number of joint workshops and events.
A full description of the theme can be found at http://www.genderexcel.org/?q=node/223. There are three subthemes :
1. Paradox of change
2. Paradox of excellence
3. Paradox of interventions.
