The Five College African Scholars Program invites proposals for competitive

full-time in African universities. Candidates for the May 1, 2005 deadline
may apply for one of two residency periods: mid-January to May 2005 OR

invited on the topic of Health & Society, while the August residency is open
to all projects relevant to the study of Africa in the humanities and social
