Applications are invited for the position of Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work as a member of the AHRC-funded project ‘Sequins, Self & Struggle: Performing and Archiving Sex, Place and Class in Pageant Competitions in Cape Town’, based in the Department of Drama & Theatre at Royal Holloway, University of London.

Candidates with research specialisms in gender, sexuality, historiography and/or archives and with experience and interest in collaborative research practices and social engagement are particularly encouraged. The project is highly interdisciplinary and draws on fields such as gender and queer studies, performance studies, cultural geography, African studies and visual culture.
