World Affairs
Council
312 Sutter Street, Suite 200,
San Francisco, California 94108
For over half a century, the Council's annual conference at Asilomar has been known as the most prestigious international affairs conference on the West Coast. Held at a beautiful seaside setting on the Monterey Coast adjacent to Pebble Beach, the conference boasts a special mix of social and educational activities. Scholars, current and former cabinet and government officials, ambassadors and businessmen from the US, Russia and other countries will address the 800 participants. Join us!
The Great Game: Russia and the Future of Eurasia will examine issues at the heart of Russia and Central Asia's transition from a multinational 20th century communist empire to 21st century groupings of nations:
What future do these previously closed nations at the crossroads of civilization have in the emerging global economy?
Will they forge new economic and political links with the West, or sink into anarchy and fundamentalism?
The other important side of the equation is the future of Russia, still the world's largest country and despite its current problems, potentially an economic and political superpower in the next century. Like Central Asia, Russia is at a crossroads. Its democracy is still fragile, beset by glaring weaknesses and under attack from both the far left and the far right.

The project “Gender-Race-Ethnicity: Rearticulating the Local and the Global” focuses on the intersectionality of gender, race, and ethnicity in relation to modern and postmodern structurations of the local and the global. Feminist scholarship is now well positioned to address the complex interrelations of the particular and the universal, the local and the global, in relation to constructions of gender, race and ethnicity. Our project will bring together relevant areas of study that have not yet sufficiently been put into conversation with one another, for example: the study of gender, race and ethnicity in the Americas; third-world feminism and transnational studies of women of color; feminist area studies; diaspora and postcolonial studies; postmodern and poststructuralist feminist theorizations of the interrelations of the particular and the universal; political and economic analyses and theorizations of local/global configurations.
About the IRW: A leader in interdisciplinary feminist research for twenty years, the Institute for Research on Women has been a central force in making Rutgers University widely known as a distinguished and hospitable research environment for the study of women and gender. For twenty years the IRW has stimulated the exchange of ideas and information on gender and women’s studies among Rutgers scholars on the New Brunswick campuses. The IRW’s affiliates presently number several hundred faculty, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates throughout the University. Each year, the IRW hosts visiting scholars, lecturers and keynote speakers from across the country and around the world who are working on gender-related subjects in a range of disciplines.
About the Fellowships: Two to four fellowships, depending on the length of stay, will be offered for each of the three years of the project. The IRW invites applications from scholars in any field who are open to interdisciplinary perspectives, as well as from scholars in specifically interdisciplinary fields such as Women’s Studies, Ethnic Studies, and Area Studies. Fellows will be visiting scholars of the IRW and will enjoy private offices with hardwired computer and Internet facilities; library and other faculty privileges; and modest secretarial support. They will participate in the range of IRW activities, which include a weekly faculty-graduate student seminar at one meeting of which Fellows will present their work, public lectures, colloquia, discussion groups and conferences.
Application Process: Postdoctoral scholars working in any discipline may apply. Applications should include a letter of intent specifying project title and proposed dates of visit; project description (fifteen pages maximum); curriculum vitae, telephone and fax numbers and email address; two letters of reference. (Detailed information is available on the reverse of this poster, or at the Institute’s web site: www.scils.rutgers.edu/special/IRW)
Application deadline:
Applications for the first year of residency fellowships
(September 1999-June 2000) will be accepted until January 9,
