SSRC Dissertation Development Workshop
on Central Asia and the Caucasus

March/April 2003

        The Eurasia Program of the Social Science Research Council invites
applications for the third and last dissertation workshop focusing
specifically on the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus to be held in
March/April 2003. Graduate students in any social science discipline who are
currently at any stage of the dissertation process (dissertation proposal,
write-up, etc.) and whose dissertation relates in any way to Central Asia
and/or the Caucasus are eligible to apply. Applications from other fields
are welcome as long as they are grounded in social science theory and
methodology.

10 graduate students and 5 faculty participants will be chosen to attend the
2003 workshop in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  Participants will convene for two
days of intensive and critical discussion of both the students' dissertation
projects, as well as larger theoretical and methodological issues.  The SSRC
will cover all transportation, accommodation, and related expenses for
participants.

Region and topic specific or comparative projects addressing Central Asia
and the Caucasus or any countries or themes within or across these two
geographical regions are strongly encouraged (particularly ones which
examine these areas in relation to the former Soviet Union, the Middle East,
China, and/or other countries). The overall objectives of the workshop are
to explore the state of Central Asian and Caucasian studies, encourage new
approaches through multidisciplinary and comparative perspectives, and
reflect on how new research on these areas is advancing understandings of
the "field" (in terms of discipline and/or area studies).  Participants may
also be called upon to analyze the usefulness of regional designations such
as Central Asia and the Caucasus both for their own research and the general
understanding of the areas in question.


Applicants should submit the following material by 18 December 2002 in order
to be eligible.

*       A five page, double spaced summary of the dissertation project
        highlighting its relationship to the objectives of the workshop
*       One letter of academic recommendation from the applicant's primary
        advisor
*       Curriculum Vitae.

If selected, participants will be required to submit a 15-25 page
dissertation chapter or writing sample and an experimental syllabus.
Selected participants will receive detailed information as to the
requirements for both the writing sample and syllabus, which will be due by
February 20th, 2003.  The 5 page application statements, writing samples,
and syllabi will be circulated among all conference participants.

To be eligible, applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents,
currently enrolled in an accredited Ph.D. program, and working at some stage
on their dissertation projects. The deadline for the receipt of applications
is December 18th, 2002.  Decisions regarding final participants will be
announced by January 20th, 2003.
