Roslyn Dubler awarded Doc Mobility Grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation

Roslyn Dubler, PhD candidate at Columbia, will spend the 2021-2022 academic year in residence at the European University in Florence as a recipient of the Doc Mobility Grant, awarded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. Roslyn will use the grant to support her dissertation research on the history of ‘non-discrimination on the basis of sex’ and its impact on law and social policy in the European Community between 1975 and 1992. Roslyn’s dissertatiojn tracks a series of legal measures issued by the European Economic Community in the 1970s and 1980s that called on Member States to reform universal welfare policies in order to affirm the principle of ‘non-discrimination’. Drawing on archives across Western Europe, she seeks to understand how new norms around gender and equality contributed to the transformation of the welfare state and the expansion of European integration in the late twentieth century. Huge congratulations to Roslyn on this achievement!
