Eurasia Program Dissertation Workshop

The Eurasia Program of the Social Science Research Council (SSRC), in partnership with Harvard University’s Kathryn W. and Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, invites applications for a three-day interdisciplinary dissertation development workshop for doctoral students on the theme: Globalizing Eurasia? Impacts on the Region and the World. The workshop, to be held 5-7 October 2010, will bring together PhD candidates from across the social science disciplines. The organizers welcome work ranging from interpretive categories (e.g., empire, state, ethnicity, modernity or authoritarianism) to transnational processes (for example, development, trade, migration, health, terrorism, languages or Diasporas). Following a workshop format, the meeting will provide opportunities to discuss ideas and research plans, solicit feedback from fellow dissertators and nationally known resource faculty, and enhance scholarly networks and contacts. For additional details please contact program staff at eurasia@ssrc.org. The application deadline is August 15, 2010.
