Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I'm glad to send you the current Call for Applications of Geschichtswerkstatt Europa. Should you have any questions, I and my team will be glad to answer these via phone or e-mail. Further information can be found via www.geschichtswerkstatt-europa.org.
Yours sincerely,
Felix Ackermann
Call for applications: Grants for international projects on European remembrance
Period of grant: April to October 2010
Closing date for sending project outlines: October 26th 2009
Geschichtswerkstatt Europa is a programme set up by the Foundation "Remembrance,
Responsibility, Future" (EVZ), which supports international projects addressing the issue of the culture of memory and remembrance in Europe. Its aim is to strengthen
dialogue between young Europeans comparing the differences and similarities in historical perceptions of the collective experience of oppression in the 20th century at a national, regional and local level.
The Institute for Applied History is responsible for project support in cooperation with the European University Viadrina. The Institute provides advice and support on
project ideas, from sketching the initial outline to completing the application and accounting procedures. It will also organise a meeting in Frankfurt (Oder) in spring 2010, where project content and method can be discussed and individual participants can network.
Call for applications 2010: Paths of Remembrance
Twentieth-century Europe has been marked by dictatorship, war, forced labour and genocide. This has resulted in not only millions of deaths but also enforced
migration, which has become stored in the collective memory as deportation, flight, evacuation, displacement, emigration, repatriation, dispossession, etc.
The challenge facing survivors and their descendants is that memories of these acts of violence are often connected with places very far removed from their current
lives. The geographical distance is intensified by the cultural distance which is created as those places are inhabited nowadays by different people whose memories relate to other, equally distant places.
With the fall of the Iron Curtain it has become increasingly possible to return to these places, to visit and study them. The connection between the past and the present, indeed, between one place and another, has been established since then by way of journeys, narration, symbols and rituals. The Paths of Remembrance thus taken help to recollect routes of forced migration and to reduce the distance that eventuated from it.
In the programme year 2010, within the framework of Geschichtswerkstatt Europa, the Foundation EVZ will be funding international teams as they collaborate on analysis of one or more Paths of Remembrance of particular relevance today. This means that the subject of project work needs to have the potential to create understanding, reconciliation and/or conflict for the societies concerned.
The project work can involve field work related to tracing routes, memorial sites, museums and memorials, as well as analysis and compilation of oral and written
statements. In addition to empirical study, the projects of Geschichtswerkstatt Europa should establish the wider public awareness needed to encourage dialogue over European cultures of remembrance.
Funding
Geschichtswerkstatt Europa funds international projects involving students, graduates, young academics, journalists, artists and other members of civilian society between 18 and 35 years of age, who collectively set out to retrace a Path of Remembrance between April and October 2010.
The projects will be planned and carried out by the applicant together with a partner from another Central or East European country or Israel. Presentation and
discussion of the project should aim to reach a wider audience. It is expected that the project will result in a joint contribution to the Geschichtswerkstatt Europa internet platform in the form of text, photos or video.
Projects can be financed in one of two ways: Institutions planning a project with more than 4 participants are eligible for grants for travel, accommodation, materials and communication up to a maximum of 15,000 Euros. International teams of between 2 and 4 people without any attachment to an institution can claim a maximum of 2,500 Euros per person to carry out the entire project.
Outlines
Each project team is required to submit a plan which answers the following questions:
1. Which international team will be carrying out the project?
2. What is the key issue via which the Paths of Memory are to be retraced?
3. What steps have been planned for implementing this issue? What methods will be used?
4. What form will communication between the project partners take?
5. In what form will the project results be compiled and presented to a wider audience?
6. What costs will be involved in carrying out the project?
A project outline can be submitted between September 1st and October 26st, 2009, via the online form at Geschichtswerkstatt Europa. In November 2009, a jury of
experts will decide on the projects that will be invited to apply for funding.
Geschichtswerkstatt Europa is a programme of the foundation „Remembrance, Responsibility and Future“ addressing the issue of European remembrance. The Institute for Applied History coordinates the funding of projects in cooperation with the European University Viadrina. The International Forum is organised by the Global and European Studies Institute at the University of Leipzig.

NOTE FOR CONTRIBUTORS
Peer-review
The ARA is a peer-reviewed journal. Two anonymous referees will evaluate the manuscripts. As suggested by referees, manuscripts will be: a) accepted for publication with no further revisions, b) returned for further revisions or c) rejected, usually within 60 days from submission. Authors will be promptly informed of the status of the manuscript, along with reviewers´ argumentation. A third reviewer will be involved in the process in the eventuality that the first two are in complete disagreement regarding the publication of the manuscript. The editors reserve the right to reject or to return for revision any manuscript not meeting the minimal requirements for the peer-review process (i.e. non-standard format, lack of academic style, major flaws in design or analysis, unclear methodology, etc.), or for ethical concerns.
Manuscript content and style
The ARA accepts research and review manuscripts, as well as book reviews on relevant topics. Typically, research manuscripts will consist in ABSTRACT, brief INTRODUCTION, METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION and/or CONCLUSIONS, brief Acknowledgements, and REFERENCES sections, followed by figures and/or tables (the later accompanied by short explanatory notes). Generally, research manuscripts should be up to 10 pages long, all sections inclusive. Review manuscripts, up to 20 pages long, should consist in ABSTRACT, brief INTRODUCTION, main DISCUSSION (with subsections as required by the subject matter), brief Acknowledgements, and REFERENCES sections, followed by figures and/or tables (with explanatory notes). Book reviews, up to one page, consist in a section titled BOOK REVIEW, identifying the book title, authors/editors, and edition at the beginning of the text, and, if necessary, a REFERENCES section. The content of the manuscript must not have been previously
published in other academic journals, books, or chapters. However, preliminary data presented at scientific meetings may be included if they are part of a significantly expanded analysis within the manuscript submitted to ARA.
Page and font format
Each page should be set-up 3 cm from top and from left, and 1.5 cm from bottom and from right margins, counted throughout, and written in Times New Roman font. The title of the manuscript must be in 14-sized bold font, centered and capitalized. Authors´ names must be in 12-sized font, centered and capitalized. The abstract must consist in 10 single-spaced rows, 9-sized font, followed by up to 5 keywords in the 11th line. The rest of the manuscript must be single-spaced, in 12-sized justified fond. Titles of figures will be centered. At the bottom of the first page the following note should be added (in font 10, capitals and the number of volume with bold):
ANN. ROUM. ANTHROPOL. 46, P... ,(?) BUCHAREST, 2009
Authors in the reference section should be written with font 12, title of paper with italics, and the number of the volume with bold. The manuscript ends with a paragraph including: the date of submission, the authors´ institutions, e-mail address of the corresponding author, and e-mail addresses of each co-author.
Reference style
References should be appearing in text with the name of author, year of publication and, in the case of books, chapters or references over 50 pages long, the page in brackets, i.e. (Popescu 1999: 43). When one author published more articles in the same year he/she should be quoted as (Popescu 2001a: 88; 2001b: 67). When there are three or more authors the format becomes (Popescu et al. 2002: 56). All references must be complete and accurate. Internet addresses will be fully cited when mentioned for the first time within the text (e.g. www.britannica. com) and briefly referred to thereafter (e.g. Britannica). Similarly, institutional or organizational works without authors will be fully cited when first mentioned in the text (e.g. Guidelines for Conduct of Research Involving Human Subjects at NIH), and shortened thereafter (e.g. NIH Guidelines). The software will be abbreviated (e.g. SPSS) if widely known. Examples of reference styles:

International Symposium:
Bektashism between religious movement and established religion
Tirana, 23 October 2009
The European University in Tirana, in association with the Academy of Sciences and the Centre for Albanian Studies, is organizing an International Symposium on Bektashism. The event features the participation of many international and local experts in the field, including the following keynote speakers:
1. Nathalie Clayer (CNRS France): "Institutionalisati on and Bektashi Religious Authority in Twentieth-Century Albania"
2. David Shankland (Bristol University): TBA
3. Ahmet Karamustafa (Washington University in St. Louis): to be confirmed
4. Albert Doja (Member of the Academy of Sciences): "From Confraternal Religion to Instrumental Theology in the Political History of Bektashism"
5. Ger Duijzings (SEES University College London): TBA
6. Bernd Fischer (Indiana University): TBA
Abstract
Recent work on Bektashism demonstrates an innovative and well-argued approach, according to which the system of beliefs and practices related to Bektashism seems to have corresponded to a kind of liberation theology, whereas the structure of Bektashi groups corresponded more or less to the type of religious organization conventionally known as charismatic groups. If this is the case, their spiritual tendency could at times connect with and meet social, cultural and national perspectives. It is the overall combination of these factors that seems to cast heterodox mystics and heretics of any kind as non-conformist and often dangerous for the political establishment, as was the case with the Bektashis as much in Ottoman Anatolia and Modern Turkey as in Albania. However, in other circumstances, they may become politically compliant and reliable, depending on political situations. In this case, when members of the previously persecuted religious minority will acquire a degree of religious and political respectability within society at large, the doctrines of heterodoxy and liberation theology fade into the background. In the end, the heirs of the heterodox promoters of spiritual reform and social movement turn into followers and faithful defenders of a legitimate authority. They become the spokespeople for an institutionalized orthodoxy whose support is sought by the political regime.
Call for Contributions
The International Symposium aims to promote theoretical academic debates and discussions on different approaches to Bektashism from various humanities and social science perspectives, while taking into account, on one hand, the implications of Bektashism to issues of identity and cultural politics and, on the other hand, the similarities and differences of Bektashism in Anatolia and in the Balkans, including Albania.
Submissions are welcome to address the following but not limited issues:
1. Bektashism as a liberation theology: doctrinal and organizational patterns, master and disciple relationships, gnostic and dualist ideas
2. The relationship between heterodoxy and orthodoxy in Bektashism
3. The relationship of Bektashism to political structures
4. The extent of Bektashism in acting as both a conservative and radical force for both social stability and social change in society
5. The relationship of Bektashism to culturalist and nationalist movements
6. The extent of Bektashi background and inspiration in Naim Frashëri's work and activism
Submission proposals (max. 250 words) should be sent by email and must be accompanied with a short bio (max. 100 words) of the Applicant's academic affiliation/ research topic/general research interests by 30th July 2009. Accepted papers will be announced by 15th August 2009. The approved candidates will have to submit the full-length paper of no more than 7000 words by 15th September 2009. The time presentation made available to speakers will be about 20 minutes followed by a Q&A session. In order to facilitate discussion papers will be made available to all participants in advance and will be published as Symposium Proceedings by UET Press.

The Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET) `EMBARK' Scheme offers opportunities for suitably qualified students to pursue a postgraduate degree by research. The Scheme supports basic research in the broad areas of Science, Engineering and Technology. The call for applications opens on June 9th 2009 for students and researchers hoping to begin postgraduate research in the Republic of Ireland in October 2009. While a majority of postgraduate Scholarships awarded by the Council are offered to European Union (EU) citizens or to those who are ordinarily resident within a member state of the EU, a proportion of awards are also offered to exceptional candidates who are ordinarily resident in non EU member states.
Scholarships are awarded only to those who will be full-time students and who will engage fulltime in research during the period of the award. Students awarded under the scheme must maintain their principle residence in Ireland during the term of the Scholarship and Scholarships must be held at a recognised third-level institution in Ireland.
The Scholarship awards are valued at €24,003 per year of award. Of this amount €16,002 is paid as a maintenance award to the Scholar. The remaining €8,001 is allocated to cover payment of fees to the Research Body, and support for the research to be carried out.
GOVERNMENT OF IRELAND SCHOLARSHIPS IN SCIENCE, ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY

The Open University (UK)
Charter Studentships
To celebrate The Open University's 40th anniversary we offering a number of research studentships.
These studentships provide opportunities for the best national or international candidates to work alongside leading academics and research staff on projects that will inspire and shape our research portfolio. They will cover all fees for three years plus an annual stipend and are tenable from 1 October 2009. Suitable candidates should have or expect to graduate with a minimum 2:1 honours degree.
One of the topics on offer is:
Requirements Engineering and Climate Change
When developing computers systems, it is important to model the world in which they operate as well as what happens within the machine, in order to ensure requirements are met. There is however, no guarantee that the software engineers involved have an adequate understanding of that world. This issue is sharply highlighted in the case of energy and the urgent need to address climate change. In this case, the software engineers would need to engage not just with a whole array of specialist technology, but also understand the social and legal issues involved in addressing complex areas of government policy. In this project you would look at how energy and climate change expertise and policy can be made accessible to software engineers, in forms that can be readily used in modeling systems and their operational environment. You would work with experts in both Software Engineering and Energy and Climate Change, so you would need to embrace an interdisciplinary approach.
You should have a good knowledge of requirements engineering, and a strong interest in addressing the issues related to energy usage and climate change. An interest in how government policy is developed and addressed by industry would also be helpful.
Please contact Dr Robin Laney (r.c.laney@open.ac.uk), for an informal discussion and advice on drawing up a proposal.

SUNT O CARTE VIE!
Living Library
INVITATIE
* 16-18 iulie 2009, Bucuresti, La Motoare
Asociatia A.R.T. Fusion organizeaza intre 16-18 iulie 2009 Biblioteca Vie – Living Library in cadrul festivalului Ia ARTITUDINE! In acest sens, cautam participanti la Biblioteca Vie din cadrul organizatiilor care lucreaza cu voluntari din grupuri vulnerabile la situatii de discriminare sau care se confrunta cu situatii de discriminare. Organizatiile au oportunitatea de a isi promova propria activitate dar
si problematica diversitatii careia i se adreseaza.
Festivalul Ia ARTITUDINE! este parte a proiectului Make it real as you want it! organizat de voluntari din Spania, Letonia, Polonia, Turcia si Romania. In cadrul festivalului, Asociatia A.R.T. Fusion organizeaza cea de-a doua editie a "Living Library" sau "BIBILIOTECA VIE".
Festivalul cuprinde mai multe workshop-uri in care poti sa iti creezi propriile bijuterii, poti sa intelegi experimentezi ritmuri de salsa, tango sau flamenco, sa inveti ca fotografiile pot vorbi, sa cunosti "carti in carne si oase". Va invitam in Biblioteca Vie sa cunoasteti povestile unor voluntari care va vor schimba modul de a privi lumea.
CARTE si CITITOR in cadrul unei biblioteci vii ?
Ce este Living Library/ Biblioteca vie?
Biblioteca vie functioneaza ca o biblioteca obisnuita- cititorii vin si imprumuta carti pentru o perioada limitata de timp . Dupa ce citesc cartile, le returneaza in biblioteca, si daca vor, pot sa mai imprumute o carte. Exista insa doua aspecte importante: CARTILE sunt FIINTE UMANE si intra intr-un dialog personal cu cititorul.
Cine sunt cartile?
Cartile din biblioteca vie sunt oameni reprezentand grupuri care se confrunta, sau se pot confrunta cu prejudecati sau stereotipuri ( de gen, varsta, educatie, meserie, etnie, rasa, religie etc) si care ar putea fi victime ale discriminarii sau excluderii sociale, sau pot fi oameni cu povesti care ar da cititorului o experienta unica de invatare legata de diversitate si de voluntariat, cele doua teme fiind abordate in cadrul Bibliotecii Vii. Cei care cred in voluntariat si valorile sale, care au voluntariat sau lucreaza cu voluntari pot fi carti in cadrul Bibliotecii Vii. Daca in organizatiile dumnevoastra lucrati cu beneficiari care ar putea oferi o experienta de invatare deosebita participantilor din cadrul festivalului nostru, va asteptam sa ne contactati pana in 9 iulie la datele de contact de mai jos.
Participarea unei CARTI din partea organizatiei va oferi tinerilor vizitatori ai bibliotecii o noua perspectiva asupra a ceea ce inseamna prejudecata, stereotipul, discriminarea, voluntariatul.
Scopul Bibliotecii vii?
Biblioteca Vie isi propune sa promoveze respectul pentru drepturile omului si demnitatea umana, sa atraga atentia asupra diversitatii in toate formele ei, sa stimuleze dialogul intre oameni. De ce acest dialog? Pentru ca de multe ori diferentele dintre oameni nu sunt valorificate ca fiind resurse, de cele mai multe ori aceste diferente duc la discriminare, suspiciune si respingere.
Cand se desfasoara Biblioteca Vie?
In cadrul festivalului Ia ARTITUDINE! in perioada 16-18 iulie 2009 pe terasa Teatrului National Bucuresti, La Motoare, de la orele 18.30 la 21.30
Ne-ar face o deosebita placere sa participe o CARTE din cadrul organizatei dvs. in cadrul Bibliotecii Vii in zilele de 16, 17 si 18 iulie 2009. Participarea poate avea loc pe parcursului tuturor zilelor sau numai in una sau doua zile dupa ora 18.30 pana la ora 21.30 ( in functie de programul dvs).
Mai multe detalii despre aspectele tehnice si administrative ale bibliotecii puteti afla de la persoana noastra de contact: Roxana Turcu, art_fusion_romania@ yahoo.com
Asteptam asadar sa ne contactati pana in 9 iulie la datele de mai sus pentru a stabili impreuna care sunt urmatorii pasi.
Festivalul Ia ARTITUDINE! este parte a proiectului Make it real as you want it! Realizat de voluntari din Spania, Letonia, Polonia, Turcia si voluntari ai Asociatiei A.R.T. Fusion. .
Un proiect realizat cu sprijinul financiar al Comisiei Europene prin Programul Tineret in Actiune.
Va multumim si asteptam un raspuns cat de curand.

*Migration and divided societies *
*Special Issue of /Ethnopolitics/ *
Guest editors:
*Chris Gilligan*, University of the West of Scotland; *Susan Ball-Petsimeris* , Université de Paris 8
We would like to invite articles on the theme of 'migration and divided societies' for publication in a forthcoming Special Issue of the journal /Ethnopolitics/ . The Special Issue aims to critically examine the relationship between migration and social divisions which are conceptualised as 'ethnic' in popular discourse, academic writing or government policy.
Papers are welcome that raise questions related to concepts and practices of migration and segregation along 'ethnic' lines.
Submissions are welcome from researchers and practitioners at any stage in their career (from postgraduates to emeritus professors). Our main criteria for inclusion will be; relevance to the overall theme, quality of scholarship and originality.
All articles should be between 6000 and 8000 words in length and should use the Harvard style of referencing. All submitted articles will be peer reviewed by at least two different peer reviewers. (For a more detailed style guide to the journals 'house-style' see: http://www.ethnopol itics.org/ ethnopolitics/ styleguide. html ).
Articles should be submitted via email to Chris Gilligan (University of the West of Scotland, UK) at: chris.gilligan@ uws.ac.uk to arrive by Tues 27^th October 2009.
For a fuller outline of the rationale for the Special Issue and a guide to the kinds of questions we would like to address and the kinds of topics that we would consider for publication, see below.
Thanks in advance for your consideration,

*Migration and divided societies *
The aim of the Special Issue is to examine the relationship between migration and social divisions which are characterised as 'ethnic'.
It is now commonplace to hear that, largely due to migration, most contemporary societies are characterised by ethnic diversity. In these same societies, however, there are often significant levels of segregation along ethnic lines. In political science the term 'divided society' refers to nations or regions, (such as Northern Ireland, South Africa, Bosnia-Herzegovina) , which are characterised by deep social
cleavages based on ethnic difference. In this Special Issue, however, we use the term 'divided society' in a looser sense -- to refer to any state, region or locality which is characterised by significant levels of social divisions which are understood in ethnic terms.
We are particularly interested in articles which examine one or more of
the following topics:
- conceptualising migration and ethnic division
- experiences of immigrants of ethnic division and attempts at
integration
- responses of society (public, policy-makers, the mass media
etc.. ) towards migrants and segregation/ integration
- causes of ethnic division
- outward migration and segregation
We are also particularly interested in articles which have a comparative
dimension. These comparisons could be: across different migrant groups;
across different historical periods; between different countries, or;
between different regions or cities within one country.
We provide the following two themes by way of illustration, of the kinds
of topics and questions that might be asked about migration and social
division:
There has been a lot of focus on immigration and segregation. But what
about emigration? Does emigration create, or entrench, social divisions
in the country of emigration? There is some literature on this topic
which examines the case of forced migrations which are generated through
'ethnic' conflict. This topic could, however, be developed further. Can,
for example, segregation be reversed in post-conflict situations? What
works and what does not work in attempting to reverse segregation? Are
there other, less dramatic ways in which migration creates or entrenches
'ethnic' division? One area which has not been explored in any detail is
the movement of indigenous populations away ('white flight') from areas
where immigrants come to reside. What role, if any, do government
policies play in promoting 'white flight'? To what extent is 'white
flight' promoted by ethnic considerations (rather than, for example,
class and upward social mobility)?
Immigrants to 'divided societies' find a society which is already
characterised by a deep social cleavage based on ethnic difference. What
does it mean to 'integrate' in a society which is not itself integrated?
How do immigrants 'fit in' to such a society? Do they 'take sides'? If
so, what guides their choice? Do they attempt to create a 'third space'
outside of the existing social division? If so, what barriers and
opportunities do they encounter in doing so? These themes have been
explored most extensively in relation to Israel. To what extent is the
Israeli case unique?
These themes are merely illustrative, they do not indicate that
preference will be given to articles which tackle either of these
themes. Our main criteria for inclusion will be; relevance to the
overall theme, quality of scholarship and originality.
If you know anyone who you think would be interested please pass this
message on to them.
