Call for Applications: Research project on Sexualities and Modernities - Deadline: May 1



Call for Applications - Research project on Sexualities and Modernities in North Africa, the  Middle East, and Central Asia
Application Deadline: 1 May 2008
From 2008 to 2010 the SEPHIS programme will run a research project on ‘Sexualities and Modernities’ sponsored by the Ford Foundation. The objective of this programme is to allow researchers to gain a deeper historical and comparative understanding of the complex interplay between cultural contexts and the politics of sex- and gender-based claims of identity. Dissemination to advocacy groups and into the public sphere is an essential part of this endeavour. SEPHIS is making one fellowship available to candidates at the post-doctoral, PhD and MA level to research any area to do with the history of sexualities in North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.
