Program for the Study of Sexuality, Gender, Health, and Human Rights

From Indopedia

-- The Program for the Study of Sexuality, Gender, Health and Human Rights invites applications from postdoctoral scholars, advocates, and activists conducting innovative interdisciplinary work on the intersecting themes of sexuality, gender, health and human rights in U.S. and international contexts. Please note that this Program is a residential fellowship program and not a course.

-- The Program aims to provide a supportive intellectual location to further the sometimes separate conversations and advances that have occurred within studies of sexuality, gender, health, and human rights. Despite new efforts to integrate human rights frameworks into feminist agendas and to frame health as a human right, the relationship of innovative scholarship and activism about sexuality to health and human rights remains to be explored. During their residencies in the Program, fellows will examine the challenges and lessons posed by integrating sexuality, gender, health and human rights in theory, research, and advocacy. Our focus is on examining and expanding traditional definitions and boundaries, while acknowledging conditions of inequality, marginality, and post-coloniality.
