Fellowship: TASI 2011, "Violence Across the Mediterranean to Northern Europe: Theory and Practice" (4/8; 7/17-29)

"Violence Across the Mediterranean to Northern Europe: Theory and Practice"
Trans-Atlantic Summer Institute in European Studies, July 17 - July 29, 2011
University of Minnesota

The DAAD Center for German & European Studies at
the University of Minnesota invites applications to the 11th
Trans-Atlantic Summer Institute in European Studies (TASI). The
Institute will bring together 12 German or other European, and 12 North
American advanced graduate students for an intensive two-week seminar on
the campus of the University of Minnesota. The 2011 topic is "Violence
Across the Mediterranean to Northern Europe: Theory and Practice."

The
2011 multi-disciplinary faculty leaders are Patricia Lorcin (History;
University of Minnesota) and Aberrahmane Moussaoui (Anthropology;
University of Provence, France). They will be joined by guest speaker
Ruth Mandel (Anthropology; University College London, UK). The Institute
offers a diverse mix of seminar discussions of key readings, research
presentations by guest faculty and fellows, and informal discussions of
fellows' research projects. The international faculty team encourages
applications from young scholars in the social sciences and humanities
who are eager to situate their own projects at the intersection of the
four main strands in the scholarly literature on violence. All selected
students will receive fellowships. A reading knowledge of French is
required. Application deadline: April 8, 2011.
