5) Associates, Gender Equity and Social Transformation / The African Gender
Institute (AGI) / Cape Town, South Africa / Closing date: January 31, 2002.
The Institute:
The African Gender Institute (AGI) was established in 1996 with the aim of
developing theoretical and practical understandings of gender and its
importance in the process of social transformation in Africa. The AGI
facilitates links between intellectuals, policymakers and practitioners
working towards the attainment of gender equity in Africa, and achieves this
through academic teaching, research work and applied project work.
The Programme:
The AGI has received funding from Rockefeller Foundation to continue its
highly successful Associates Programme into 2002. The aim of the programme
is
for a limited number of African women, who are middle to senior level
scholars, from across the continent to be offered the opportunity to be
based
at the University of Cape Town. Each associate will be afforded the time and
space to reflect on their experiences and use the library and other
facilities in order to complete a writing project of their own choice and
design, within the broad framework of gender equity and social
transformation.
The Associateships:
An associateship is a period of stay based at the African Gender Institute
in
Cape Town. There is a choice of two possible dates during 2002:
1. Arrive during May 2002, return home during August 2002;
2. Arrive during September 2002, return home during December 2002.
The AGI expects that during the time an associate will complete a piece of
work of their choice within a chosen interest area that contributes to a
deeper understanding of gender equity and social transformation in Africa.
The work may be an academic text or a piece of creative writing that will
contribute to strengthening our shared understanding of gender. For example,
it could involve finalising a text for publishing, writing an article,
developing a proposal for further studies, or writing up the findings of
research already undertaken. It could also be by means of stories, drama,
poetry, or in the form of a reflective essay on personal experiences.
The Institute aims to support work that will deepen our shared knowledge and
experience of gender issues, and which will do so in an effective and
interesting way.
Eligibility:
Those eligible to apply for an associateship are: African women who wish to
complete a writing project which includes gender as a category of social
analysis. You will have a demonstrable track record in research and writing,
have obtained a qualification from a tertiary level institution, possess a
firm commitment to the achievement of gender equity and social
transformation, be based in an African country.
Each associate will be offered:
- Return travel from home base to Cape Town. For associates travelling from
outside South Africa this will include return airfare from home country to
Cape Town and re-imbursement of visa costs associated with stay in South
Africa;
- Modest accommodation for the three months;
- A stipend for the three months of R3,500 per month to cover living costs
and other incidental expenses including insurance for personal effects;
- Medical insurance - limited to minor illnesses arising during the

professional materials, faxing, photocopying, etc.;

professional development that each associate may wish to follow up during
their stay. This may include the costs of attending seminars and conferences
of your choice;

facilities including libraries;
In return the AGI expects you will:
- If not South African, obtain a valid visa for your stay in South Africa

7) Campaign Manager / Lori Handrahan / Ellsworth, Maine, USA.
Description:
AWID member, Lori Handrahan, Ph.D., adjunct faculty member at American
University, is currently preparing to announce as a candidate in the
democratic primary for the second congressional district in Maine, where she
grew up. It is a contested primary with six other candidates already
announced and running. Only registered democrats can vote in the primary,
June 7th, and Maine has more independents than other dems or reps. Anyone
hoping to keep the seat democratic must appeal to the independents as well
as
the democrats.
Handrahan plans to announce mid-December and will file in the December FEC
filing with a fairly large amount of seed money that she is loaning the
campaign. There is an office already in Ellsworth Maine, a charming coastal
town. Temporary housing is offered for free in Handrahan's home in
Sorrento,
Maine.
Details of Handrahan's background, publications, and media clips can be
located on her website (not the campaign website-which is not yet up)
has
published seven op-eds in all of the large Maine newspapers. These can be
reached via urls on the website.
The ideal Campaign Manager would be:
- A dynamic, hard-working, energetic, and experienced.
- The ideal candidate would be a type A, or above, personality, with huge
amounts of energy and outstanding organizational detail (The District is the
largest east of the Mississippi and requires excellent organization to cover
it effectively).
- The campaign will be heavily grass-roots, so the campaign manager must be
willing and able to drive long distances in inclement weather
conditions. If you can't stand the cold, this campaign is not for you.
- The manager must be pro-choice, interested in development issues,
interested in and able to cope with rural issues and life, be hearty,
organized, energetic, outdoorsy, and ready to take on a challenging and
innovative campaign.
- Important issues will be education, education which would help drive
economy reform and development, transportation (highway extension in
particular), agricultural issues, alternative energy (such a wind power),
Indian affairs, French and Irish background ethnic issues, (a French
speaking
campaign manager would be ideal!), and strong research elements.
- Ability to tackle and obtain detailed research of the issues and how these
fit in Maine's historical context is crucial.
To Apply:
Anyone interested in this position should contact Lori Handrahan at 202-338-
8502 or via e-mail
well.
