• How is the conceptual framing of resistance shaped by hegemonic paradigms?
• How do the ways that women, girls and gender-non conforming people resist represent a challenge to current dominant analytical paradigms?

Applicants must be citizens of on Arab country and must hold a Master’s degree in the social sciences, humanities or allied disciplines and must be actively engaged in social science debates and aware of current dominant paradigms and their limitations. PhD candidates and holders are not eligible to apply for this program.Application deadline is on August 30th 2018.
