Visiting International Scholar-in-Residence in Gender Studies

A Joint Program of the Janet C. Anderson Gender Resource Center and the
Women’s Studies Program at Idaho State University
Pocatello, Idaho

The Anderson Center and the Women’s Studies Program at Idaho State
University are pleased to announce an invitation for scholars from outside
the U.S. researching gender-related issues to apply to be a
Scholar-in-Residence.  For the length of her/his stay, ranging beween one
month and one year, the Scholar-in-Residence will be provided with a
comfortably furnished office at the Anderson Center along with the use of a
computer, with email and Internet access, and printer.  The
Scholar-in-Residence may avail of all University amenities including the
library, gymnasium and a vast array of educational and social on-campus
events.  The Scholar-in-Residence should have her/his own financial support
for the duration of the stay and should display advanced written and verbal
English skills.

Located in the relaxed setting of Pocatello, Idaho, nestled in the
picturesque Bannock Range of the Rocky Mountains, Idaho State University is
an ideal setting for scholars who are stimulated not only by the
intellectual exchange of ideas but also by a rich natural environment.
Outdoor recreational activities abound both in Pocatello and the
surrounding areas.  Pocatello is a mere 90 miles/145 km from Jackson Hole,
Wyoming, gateway to the Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks and only
150 miles/250 km from Salt Lake City, Utah, a major city that boasts an
international airport with easy connections to Pocatello via air or ground
shuttle.

This Scholar-in-Residence program, shared jointly between the Academic
Affairs-based Women’s Studies program, and the Student Affairs-based
Anderson Center, affords a unique opportunity to observe and participate in
the collegial environment produced by this intersectionality between theory
and practice.  The Scholar-in-Residence may come from a variety of
backgrounds including gender-focused research in a scholarly discipline or
practice-based work at a women’s center or similar program.  It is expected
that the Scholar-in-Residence will contribute to this environment by giving
at least one lecture on her/his gender-related work during each semester,
or portion thereof, that s/he is in residence.  If the Scholar is in
residence during spring semester, it is expected that this lecture will
take place at The Art of Gender in Everyday Life Conference.

In 2005-2006, we welcomed AAUW International Fellow, Dr. Dalia
Marcinkeviciene, Director of the Gender Studies Centre, Vilnius University
as our Scholar-in-Residence for the year.  A historian by training, Dr.
Marcinkeviciene’s research interests include Late 19th and Early 20th
Century Lithuanian marriage and family as well as major female figures from
that period in Lithuanian history.  During her Fellowship year, Dr.
Marcinkeviciene has pursued a full scholarly research agenda, as well as
taken time to study the curricula of several Women’s Studies programs in
the U.S., research that will help inform the establishment of an M.A.
program in Gender Studies in fall 2006 at her Vilnius University Centre.

Applications should include a brief one-page statement of the
gender-related project to be pursued while in residence, the dates of
expected residency and a current curriculum vitae.  Applications
should be sent, via email, to:

Dr. Rebecca Morrow, Director
Janet C. Anderson Gender Resource Center
gndrctr at isu.edu
with a subject line reading Visiting International Scholar-in-Residence in
Gender Studies

Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
