Call for applications
Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the University of Antwerp.
The PhD projects are part of a
larger FWO-funded research project 'Midwifery roles and practices in Belgium
and the Belgian Congo (1908-1960)', coordinated by Jolien Gijbels
and Margot Luyckfasseel. The project as a whole aims to generate fresh
insight into the continuing importance of midwives in reproductive care in
Belgium and the Belgian Congo between 1908 and 1960. Although women across the
globe handled the lion’s share of deliveries and combined different
reproductive care roles far into the 20th century, a comprehensive history of
their variety of practices and roles still needs to be written. To this end,
the PhD researchers will collaborate closely with one another to develop a
practice-oriented methodology that prioritizes source material offering
insights into midwifery practices and the perspective of midwives, and to
examine the mutual influences between Belgium and the Belgian Congo.
The PhD researcher at Vrije Universiteit Brussel will work on the Belgian case
and will be supervised by Jolien Gijbels, Margot Luyckfasseel and Margo De
Koster. The PhD researcher at the University of Antwerp will focus
on the Belgian Congo and will be supervised by Margot Luyckfasseel, Jolien
Gijbels and Amandine Lauro.
