Inviting Fullbright Fellow studying migration and ethnicity at De Montfort University, UK, 2008-2009.
School of English, Performance and Historical Studies at De Montfort University is looking for a US scholar during the 2008-9 academic year through a Fulbright Fellowship. The school currently has a series of scholars working on themes revolving around the history of migration and ethnicity and would like to invite someone from the US to work there. The program is ideally looking for a US migration specialist but would also have interest in people working in other geographical areas.
Below is the link to UK Fulbright, and the most relevant schemes would be Fulbright Distinguished Scholars and Fulbright Senior Specialist Fellowships. The school previously hosted a Fulbright Fellow. http://www.fulbright.co.uk/awards/us/scholars/index.html
Post-doctoral fellowships for researchers working at the intersection of race, gender, and public policy.
The Race, Gender & Public Policy Initiative at the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs is offering one year post-doctoral fellowships for researchers working at the intersection of race, gender, and public policy
The University of Minnesota’s Humphrey Institute is a national leader in the study of race and public policy and the examination of gender and public policy. We are widely recognized for our role in examining public issues and shaping public policy at the local, state, national, and international levels. The newly formed initiative on Race, Gender, and Public Policy explores new frontiers of knowledge at these intersections. The program promotes scholarship that benefits from cross-disciplinary discussion and contributes to the development of new ideas and tools for both policy arenas.
