New Program: Netherlands Research School of Women's Studies

From: "Nov PhD Program" <[email protected]>

Dear all,

I am happy to let you know that the training programme for 2002-2003 of the
Netherlands Research School of Women's Studies (NOV) is ready. The NOV is a
succesfull training center for postgraduate students which received in 1994
the highest academic creditation as a Ph.D. degree-awarding institution
from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. It provides a
rigorous platform for training post-graduate students in a stimulating
learning environment. The curriculum aims at offering tuition on a range of
thematic and methodological issues which are central to gender research and
to international scholarship on gender today.

The course work of the NOV is organized around two main research lines:
"Identity, Representation and Embodiment", with a clear orientation towards
the humanities and cultural studies and "Policy, Politics and
Organisation", which is directed towards the social sciences.

To accomodate the individual needs of foreign students the following
educational options are available:

1. The Intensive International Postgraduate Programme:
concentrating either on 'Body Issues' or 'Gender and Social Policy'. This
four-month programme, including courses and tutorials, runs yearly from
February till May. The deadline for application is September 1, 2002.

2. The Full Ph.D. Programme:
is a training in women's studies resulting in a doctorate degree from a
Dutch university. Enrolment for this four-year program is on a year-to-year
basis until degree is completed. Applications have to be sent a year before
your envisaged enrolment. Deadline for starting this programme in September
2004 is March 1, 2003.

3. Individual Coaching Sessions:
with a selected supervisor. No specific period or time limitations are
attached to this option. In order to make the necessary arrangements you
must apply at least 3 months before your visit.


More information on registration and tuition fees can be found on the NOV
website (www.let.uu.nl/nov) or can be requested from the International
Ph.D. coordinator ([email protected]).

May I ask you to please distribute this information as widely as possible
around you and to invite interested students to apply?


Thanking you in advance.
Yours sincerely,

Prof.dr. Rosi Braidotti
Director NOV

Trude Oorschot
Coordinator NOV
