The Fisher Center for the Study of Women and Men at Hobart and William
Smith Colleges is seeking a Predoctoral Fellow for the academic year
2008-2009 whose area of expertise falls within our theme of Animation (Making
Life Graphic) and Gender. By animation, we are interested in a broad
spectrum of work, from film, comics and graphic novels through to
ways performanceand studio arts, science and technology and other disciplines (and
interdisciplines) make life move and change. We seek dissertation
scholarswhose work critically engages the terms of our theme and are especially
interested in candidates who would contribute to the diversity of the
campus.
The fellowship offers an opportunity to gain experience teaching in
private liberal arts institutions while completing dissertation work,
and carries a stipend of $30,000.00. Fellows will teach one course per
semester, attend Fisher Center lectures and meetings, and present one colloquium.
Doctoral candidates nearing completion of dissertation must submit a
one-page description of scholarship, a short statement on teaching
interests, curriculum vitae, arrange to have three letters of reference, and a
writing sample (e.g., chapter of dissertation).
Completed applications are due by March 1, 2008 to Betty M. Bayer,
