[sule tarakcioglu]

We hereby present the 2004 programme of the Summer Institute on
Sexuality, Culture, and Society organised by the Universiteit of
Amsterdam. Participate in courses, seminars and dialogues in Amsterdam
on the cultural and social dimensions of human sexuality. The 8th Summer
Institute will take place from June 27- July 22, 2004.

Scientific directors are: Carole Vance and Han ten Brummelhuis This
years faculty: Alice Miller, Stefan Dudink, Radhika Chandiramani, Oliver
Phillips, Geetanjali Misra, Sea Ling Cheng, Marieke van Doorninck,
Shohini Ghosh and Mirjam 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 for NGO's.

The institute was founded in 1995 since then students from more than
thirty 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 educational backgrounds as the
social sciences (anthropology, sociology), psychology, women's studies,
history, public health and human sexuality studies. Statements of former
students can be found on the website.

We expect a 2004 class of approximately 25 students. The Institute's
classes are intensive small group seminars, with discussions, lectures
and guest lectures by prominent people in the field.

Applications must be addressed to the Universiteit van Amsterdam at the
below address. You can visit our web-site for an application form.
