Nagoya University Gender Research Library (GRL) Visiting Program

The Gender Research Library (GRL) at Nagoya University was established in cooperation with Nagoya University and the Tokai Foundation for Gender Studies to research, educate, and train researchers in gender studies and to raise and disseminate awareness of gender equality in society. The GRL collects and preserves various literature, historical materials related to feminism and gender studies, including books, journals, pamphlets, and brochures. The GRL promotes the development of gender studies by making them available to researchers, students, and the public.

The Visiting Program aims to invite researchers in gender studies to the GRL for extended stays. Visiting Scholars will have the opportunity to pursue independent, gender-related research at the GRL and to engage with scholars at both the GRL and Nagoya University. The length of stay is negotiable, ranging from one week to twelve months. The GRL will provide travel expenses and a private office. Visiting Scholars are required to deliver one research seminar at the GRL (no teaching duties) and to contribute a report to GRL Studies.

This program is particularly suitable for researchers on sabbatical leave and Ph.D. candidates completing their dissertations, though other applicants are also welcome.
