The Centre for Gender and Diversity of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS), Maastricht University, is scouting for an ambitious young researcher who is interested in entering into the Dutch national competition Promoveren in de Geesteswetenschappen (PhD’s in the Humanities, a program of the Dutch Science Foundation, NWO). The candidate will be coached by professors Lies Wesseling, Angélique Janssens and Leonie Cornips of FASoS in developing a competitive PhD proposal for the research project Liberation Children of Color. In addition, we will also enlist the services of an external expert on the topic, Mieke Kirkels, author of Van Alabama naar Margraten: Herinneringen van grafdelver Jefferson Wiggens (From Alabama to Margraten: Memories of Gravedigger Jefferson Wiggens) (www.vanalabamanaarmargraten.nl).
