POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

Position Overview
The Centre for Women’s Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship as part of the prestigious UK Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded project "Globalising Gender Studies after the Cold War: Histories and Movements, 1985-2025".

This international collaborative project brings together a distinguished research team consisting of one Principal Investigator (University of Cambridge), two Co-leads (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso and Jawaharlal Nehru University), and three postdoctoral research fellows across three continents.

Project Description
Globalising Gender Studies explores the gendered effects of transitions to liberal democracy and neoliberal market economies after the Cold War through a comprehensive global history of Women's & Gender Studies. The project is conducted in partnership with women's studies centres and non-profit organisations across Eastern Europe, Latin America, and South Asia.

Our research challenges narratives that emphasize the imposition of 'gender expertise' by the global North, instead uncovering the rich history of contestation and negotiation between global and local actors. Through archival research and interviews with international donors, national governments, and women's/gender studies centres, we explore the complex process of institutionalization from the perspective of contemporary actors.

The project provides a unique comparative analysis of how this interdisciplinary field emerged through interactions between international donors, financial institutions, philanthropic foundations, national governments, and local social movements in the global South and post-socialist East.

Research Focus for this Position
The successful candidate will focus on grassroots movements and institutions that established Women's and Gender Studies in Latin America. The research will employ methodological approaches from:
•    Women's and gender history
•    Social movement studies
•    Oral history and/or ethnography

Potential Case Studies: Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and different regions of India in a comparative frame
