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.

What factors affect Eurasia and its relationship with the world? The
conceptual frameworks associated with globalization invite questions
concerning the importance of social and cultural place, the
definitions of geographic and conceptual regions, and the nature of
national economic institutions, environmental issues, and political
identities. To what extent can the conceptual frameworks of
globalization enhance our understanding of Eurasia? How can the varied
and complex experiences of Eurasia challenge and expand our
understanding of globalization?

This dissertation development workshop will convene junior scholars
interested in these questions for an intensive workshop led by a group
of interdisciplinary senior scholars. The workshop will bring together
PhD candidates from across the social science disciplines.

We 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 at ssrc.org.

Funding 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).
