SCHOLARS IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM 2022-2023
AND
AFFILIATED SCHOLARS PROGRAM
The BEATRICE BAIN RESEARCH GROUP (BBRG), within the Department of Gender & Women’s Studies, is the University of California, Berkeley’s critical feminist research center, established in 1986 to support and coordinate feminist scholarship across disciplines. The BBRG is particularly interested in enabling research on gender in its intersections with sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, nation, religion, postcoloniality, globalization and transnational feminisms.
THE BBRG SCHOLARS-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM
APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY
MARCH 15, 2022
Each year, the BBRG hosts a new group of competitively selected scholars from the U.S. and abroad for a period of one academic year (from September 1, 2022 to May 12, 2023).
The BBRG Scholars-in-Residence Program is open to senior and junior faculty (tenured and untenured), visiting scholars, postdoctoral scholars and independent scholars, from any country, whose work is centrally on gender and women.
Applicants must have received their Ph.D. (*or its equivalent) at least five years prior to the projected start of their residency at BBRG, or have previously held a tenure-track professorial appointment, including assistant professor, associate professor, or professor.
*Equivalence can be established through degrees earned at foreign universities, or through personal or professional experience that provides a basis for pursuing the type of research and writing expected of someone holding a Ph.D. degree.
The BBRG provides its Scholars-in-Residence with the following: visiting scholar status at University of California, Berkeley; access to University of California, Berkeley libraries and library privileges; a library orientation session customized for the purposes of the Scholar in Residence’s research; the possibility of student research assistants; shared office space; shared computer and internet access; a BBRG Scholars Writing/Reading Group which meets bi-monthly; and a forum for BBRG Scholars-in-Residence to present their scholarly or creative work to the Berkeley campus community and the public.
BBRG is non-stipendiary, and thus Scholars-in-Residence provide their own financial support during the residency. There are fees associated with residency at BBRG. Please see the website for full details.
THE BBRG AFFILIATED SCHOLARS PROGRAM
APPLICATIONS ARE ACCEPTED
THROUGHOUT THE ACADEMIC YEAR
The BBRG Affiliated Visiting Scholars Program is designed to accommodate scholars who would like to spend a relatively short period of time in residence, ranging from one month to six months. The program is open to senior and junior faculty (tenured and untenured), visiting scholars, postdoctoral scholars and independent scholars, from the U.S. and abroad, whose work is centrally on women and gender. The BBRG accepts applications for the BBRG Affiliated Visiting Scholars Program throughout the academic year.
Affiliated Visiting Scholars will have access to UC Berkeley library privileges, a shared office, and shared computer and internet access. Affiliated Visiting Scholars are invited to participate in the BBRG Scholars’ Writing/Reading Group if they are in residence for at least three months.
Affiliated Visiting Scholars provide their own financial support during the residency. There are fees associated with residency at BBRG. Please see the website for full details.
*Non-U.S. scholars will need a J-1 visa to visit BBRG. This paperwork takes 3-4 months to complete. Please plan accordingly.
