The 7th Summer Institute will take place from June 29 to July 24, 2003. Scientific directors are: Carole Vance and Han ten Brummelhuis. This year's faculty: Mike Tan, Stefan Dudink, Saskia Wieringa, Redhika Chandiramani, Oliver Phillips, Geetanjali Misra, Theo van der Meer and Mirjan Schieveld.

The Summer Institute is an intensive four-week summer program which focuses on the study of sexuality across cultures and is taught by an international faculty team. This highly specialised programme is for advanced students, primarily Ph.D. and MA students in the socio-cultural sciences and professionals working.

The institute was founded in 1995 since then students from thirty-four different countries have participated in our courses. Nearly a quarter of the participants have been professionals working for NGO's. The other participants came from such diverse educactional backgrounds as the social sciences (anthropology, sociology), psychology, women's studies, history, public health and human sexuality studies.

We expect a 2003 class of approximately 30 students. The Institute's classes are intensive small group seminars, with discussions, lectures and guest lectures by prominent people in the field.

The details and latest information are announced on the website.
