Job description
Function title: PhD position

The aim of the project is to analyse self-narratives on role models in order to examine the dynamics between local, transnational and global factors which contribute to situated forms of personal agency that young adult Riffian-Berber women in the Netherlands and Morocco wish for themselves. The project is funded by NWO, the Dutch Council for Scientific Research. The successful applicant will become a member of staff at the University of Groningen and will conduct his/her research within the framework of a joint research programme of the Universities of Groningen, Amsterdam and Fes called ‘Women and Islam: New Perspectives’. The subproject Riffian Women’s Narrative Claims to Full Citizenship focuses on how Moroccan women on both sides of the Mediterranean draw from the various cultural traditions they identify with to underpin claims to citizenship in the sense of full membership in a community with all its rights and obligations. The PhD candidate will collect data by conducting 30 life story interviews with women in Morocco, and 30 in the Netherlands. The PhD candidate will also assist in organizing academic and cultural activities.
