EDUCACIÓN, MUJERES E HISTORIA impartida por la doctora Julia Cabaleiro:

El desarrollo de una historiografía basada en el protagonismo de las mujeres ha hecho posible el acercamiento a la historia poniendo en cuestión los conceptos con que se interpretaba el pasado. Pero ha posibilitado también dar visibilidad a las mujeres como sujetos, y no sólo como objetos, históricos. Sin embargo, a pesar de la importancia del  cuerpo teórico e historiográfico existente, no se ha producido, o al menos no de forma significativa y generalizada, la necesaria interrelación con el campo educativo: en la enseñanza de la historia la experiencia de las mujeres continúa relegada a los márgenes, cuando no a la inexistencia.

y LA AUTORIDAD FEMENINA EN LA HISTORIA DE LA  PRÁCTICA
CIENTÍFICA de la doctora Montserrat Cabré i Pairet.

Partiendo de las críticas feministas al concepto de ciencia y de sus análisis de los procesos de legitimación de la   producción científica, este curso plantea la búsqueda de significación propia de saberes y formas de conocimiento elaboradas por mujeres entre los siglos IV y XVII. Propone explorar algunas estrategias de des/autorización femenina para historizar las relaciones entre autoridad y
poder en la práctica social.

SUMMARY:   Bannerman Fellows receive stipends of $15,000 for sabbaticals of three  months or more. The Bannerman Program recognizes that working for social change usually means long hours at low pay, with few tangible rewards and few escapes from the day-to-day pressures. Without time to stop and reflect, the pressures can prove overwhelming; but without resources, it is impossible to take the time. Therefore, the Fellowship Program gives long-time activists of color the financial support and freedom to take a  break and recharge. 

Since 1988, there have been 101 Bannerman Fellows. They've worked on a broad range of issues from environmental justice to fair wages, from immigrant rights to native sovereignty, from political empowerment to economic revitalization and have been community and labor organizers, volunteer leaders, and cultural workers and community developers. They've been from 29 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and have ranged in age from their 30s to their 70s. Bannerman Fellows have the freedom to use their sabbaticals however they think will best re-energize them for the work ahead. No product (other than a brief report) is required. Past Fellows have used the time and resources to travel, study, visit with other activists, read, relax, acquire new skills, explore new interests, evaluate, plan and "just be still". Each year, ten new Bannerman Fellows are chosen by a Board of Directors that is made up primarily of past Fellows. 

ELIGIBILITY: 
To qualify for a Bannerman Fellowship, you must be a person of color; have at least ten years experience as a community activist; be committed to continuing to work for social change and be a resident of the United States or its territories. The Bannerman Program also seek applicants who have helped to build community organizations or institutions that have a clearly defined and involved constituency, address significant social and economic issues, have had tangible success and acknowledge the cultural values of the community; have demonstrated a strong commitment to grassroots leadership development; and have contributed to building a  movement for social change-for example, by defining new strategies or  issues, by organizing new constituencies, or be developing networks,  alliances or coalitions to advance a progressive agenda. In addition,  preference will be given to applicants who have a special need for a  sabbatical; have more than 10 years of experience; are working with  low-income people; and are working at the grassroots level. An equal  number of men and women will be selected.  

Fellows are encouraged to stop their day-to-day work activities for at least three months and devote that time to activities which are substantially different from their normal routing. Activities during the sabbatical must flow from your experience as a community activist and strengthen your ability to contribute to social change in the future. You must have the endorsement of your organization. Sabbaticals must be taken within one year of the awarding of the Fellowship. Fellows must submit a  report on their sabbatical. 

To apply, you must complete an application form. Applications must be post-marked by December 1, 1999. Finalists are selected on the basis of  the applications and interviewed by telephone. The Board of Directors will choose the 2000 Bannerman Fellows in March 2000.
