Please pass this on to anyone based in Africa who you think would be
interested in a six month research fellowship at the African Studies
Centre, Cambridge. The theme of the fellowships for October 2004 is
'Resource rights, gender and development'.
The Centre of African Studies, Cambridge University, with the generous
assistance of the Ford Foundation, Isaac Newton Trust and Smuts Memorial
Fund, is pleased to announce a Visiting Research Fellowships Scheme to
be
held at the University of Cambridge on the theme 'Resource rights,
gender
and development'. Applications are invited for five Visiting Research
Fellowships to take effect from October 2004, one of which will be
entitled
'Smuts Visiting Research Fellowship in African Studies'. The maximum
duration of a Fellowship is six months and is non-renewable. Subsequent
Fellowships will be announced to take effect from October of each
year. Applications are invited from all disciplines and are open to
scholars and others in academia, research institutes, NGOs, museums and
libraries. Preference will be given to candidates with a distinguished
research profile who are permanent residents in Africa and who have
active
research
interests in the area or areas advertised for the Fellowships
Theme (October 2004-) : Resource rights, gender and development
The livelihoods of many people in Africa depend upon rights to natural
resources such as water, land and forest products. On the ground the
rights
are complex: some are given by formal government policy and reforms;
some
are determined by customary tenure; others are given by a combination of
these. All, in practice, are highly gendered: under customary tenure
regimes women tend to have only secondary rights to resources, and the
extent to which women benefit from natural resource rights policy
reforms
may be limited.
The Centre of African Studies invites applicants for its Research
Fellowships from men and women who propose research which examines the
gendered dimension of access to resources, the importance of this for
livelihoods, and the constraints and opportunities of intervening in
tenure
regimes of different kinds. Proposals that explore dimensions of this
theme, in a rural or urban context in Africa, are encouraged.
The closing date for completed applications is 1 October 2003 and
applications received after this date will be declined.
