SSRC Next Generation Social Sciences in Africa Fellowship: The Next Generation Social Sciences program, launched in 2011, responds to an emerging dilemma within higher education in the global South caused by the extraordinary emphasis on increasing undergraduate enrollment without proportionate investment in faculty development. The program currently operates to strengthen tertiary education in Africa through a series of institutional and individual interventions, creating a pipeline for the development of faculty and research communities working on peace, security, and development topics. Applications will close on November 17th. More details can be found here.

Call for Papers: The Editorial Team of the Special Issue of Contexto Internacional, “Gender in the Global South: disturbing international boundaries” invite reflection on the state of gender studies – conceptually, politically, epistemologically – from a Global South perspective. Particularly, the Contexto International team encourages submissions that account for the ways categories of sex, gender, race, ethnicity, class among others are particularly intertwined in the lived experiences of people who inhabit the actual and symbolic Global South, so as to generate approaches to how power and resistance operate and are negotiated in different ways by people inhabiting multiple geographical, political and normative spaces. Abstract submissions are due November 30th and details can be found here.
