The BBRG Affiliated Scholars Program was initiated in Spring 2007 as a mode of accommodating excellent scholars whose work is on gender and women and who wish to remain in residence at the BBRG for periods of two weeks to one semester. (For residencies of a full academic year please see the Scholars In Residence Program).

The BBRG Affiliated Scholars Program accepts two to three Affiliated Scholars at any one time. Applications may be submitted at any time throughout the academic year. Candidacy is open to faculty (tenured and untenured), visiting scholars, postdoctoral scholars and independent scholars, from any country, whose research is centrally on gender and women. Applicants must have received their Ph.D. at least one year prior to the projected beginning of their affiliation at BBRG. The BBRG is non-stipendiary. Affiliated Scholars will have access to the following: visiting scholar status at University of California at Berkeley; access to University of California at Berkeley libraries and library privileges; shared office space; and shared computer and internet access. Depending upon the timeliness of their applications (early submission well prior to a projected period of affiliation is best) and the length of time they remain in residence, Affiliated Scholars might have access to some or all of the following: a library orientation session customized for the purposes of the Affiliated Scholar’s research; the possibility of University of California at Berkeley student research assistants; a reading/writing group; and a forum in which to present their scholarly or creative work to the Berkeley campus community and the public. The BBRG does its very best to accommodate the needs of its Affiliated Scholars.
