<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The
Society,
Work and Development Institute (SWOP) conducts relevant and
exciting research
on work, labour and social movements, mining and social
transformations,
environmental crisis, gender orders and contestation, the
informalisation of
work, society and politics, protest movements, patronage and
civil society,
collective and political violence, and the challenges of
citizenship and
democracy. The Institute collaborates with academics, grassroots
organizations
and government across South Africa and internationally, and is a
collegial,
team-working organization committed to developing a new
generation of
researchers and intellectuals. It is located in the most vibrant
Humanities
Faculty in South Africa, in a university known for cutting edge
social sciences
research.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The
Program<u></u><u></u></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The
Fellowship
program will include mentoring by experienced scholars, training
in writing and
presentation skills, research opportunities including research
funding, and the
opportunity to discuss your work in a vibrant network of
scholars. The social
justice component will include critical seminars on the
interface between
academic research and public engagement, and include a social
justice project
linked to<span style="color:#1f497d"> </span>work in labour and
broader social
movements, grassroots organising and advocacy, public interest
litigation/transformative
constitutionalism, and efforts to progressively influence
policy-making and
legislative processes.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">This
is a
full-time programme and is not compatible with other employment.
Fellows will be
expected to work closely with research staff, and to participate
fully in the
intellectual life of the institute. Each Fellow’s work programme
will fit their
specific goals, whether this means focusing on translating PhD
research into
publications, or undertaking new research and taking this
through to
publication. Candidates will explain how their own (completed or
planned)
research is linked to or has implications for social justice. It
is preferable
that applicants’ work should be broadly aligned with the
thematic focuses in
SWOP, which include:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
