DEADLINE REMINDER- SSRC Eurasia Program Dissertation Development Workshop

Governance and Mobility in Eurasia: Continuity and Discontinuity

University of Wisconsin, Madison
March 31- April 2, 2006

Application Deadline: November 30, 2005

The Eurasia Program of the Social Science Research Council invites applications
for a three-day dissertation development workshop, focusing on issues of
governance and mobility in Eurasia. The proposed research may examine any aspect
of governance and mobility, both broadly conceived, in historical, contemporary,
or comparative perspective.

For purposes of the workshop, governance is understood as processes of
interaction through which power is exercised in the distribution of economic,
political and cultural resources among and between individuals, groups, and
socio-political institutions. Mobility is conceptualized as both spatial and
socio-economic relocation, reorganization and change. These processes and
dynamics can be examined at global, regional, national and local levels.

Graduate students from relevant social science and humanities disciplines, who
are at any stage of the dissertation process (from proposal to write-up), and
whose projects examine Eurasia (including the Russian Empire, Soviet Union, and
New States of Eurasia) are eligible to apply.

If selected, participant costs will be fully covered by the SSRC. Funding for
this workshop is provided by the United States Department of State, Program for
Research and Training for Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the
Former Soviet Union (Title VIII).

Additional information, including application details, can be found on our
website, www.ssrc.org/programs/eurasia/Title8_Dissertation_Workshops/. All
questions should be addressed to eurasia@ssrc.org.
