Third Millennium International Fellowship in Human Rights
Kategori: Non Degree Scholarship
Deadline: 15 January 2007
The goal of this Third Millennium Foundation (TMF) initiative is to develop a cadre of young activists from different countries whose understanding of, commitment to and effectiveness in human rights work have been enhanced through a year long , in-depth exposure to and reflection on a broad range of perspectives, situations and
experiences related to human rights issues. Through these practical training fellowships, the Program aims to provide the fellows with the skills necessary to start or advance a career in the field of human rights.
The fellowship involves two different placements, one in the home country of the fellow and one abroad. Fellowships are awarded for practitioners as well as for students (graduate and undergraduate students of any faculty). One of the two placements is in the developing world or, in the country where the fellow intends to start her/his professional career.
Applicants must have two sponsoring organizations engaged in human rights work, broadly defined (or organizations related through a single project). One in the developing world, and one in the country where the fellow intends to pursue her/his professional career. These nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) will, in most cases, be involved in human rights education, monitoring, reporting, litigation,
grassroots mobilization, providing direct services or advocacy. Most of these organizations would identify themselves as part of the broader, universal human rights movement, relying on the norms found in United Nations and regional treaties and declarations.
Objectives:
To deepen the fellows' understanding of the diversity of situations and contexts facing human rights work and human rights activists in different countries as well as their practical and theoretical knowledge of and skills in human rights work and advocacy;
To deepen their understanding of the values underlying human rights work and the moral, emotional and psychological dimensions of that work;
To provide assistance to human rights groups in different countries (including the fellows' own countries) through the year-long work of the fellows;
To facilitate the development of friendships and collaborative partnerships with young human rights activists from other countries;
To enhance the willingness and ability of young activists from different countries to call on the strengths and experiences of activists in other countries, and lend their own strength and experiences to these same activists;
To enhance the exchange of experiences among human rights groups in different countries through the shared experiences of these young activists.

Subject: 2007/2008 Switzer Environmental Fellowships
Greetings from the Robert & Patricia Switzer Foundation:
This e-mail is going out to all of our faculty contacts and academic colleagues in New England and California to inform you that the nomination period is now open for the Switzer Environmental Fellowships. Nomination forms and materials are available online at: http://www.switzern etwork.org/ fellowship- forms.html. Attached is a summary Memorandum describing the Fellowship program and its requirements. For more
information, please contact Don Brackett, Administrative Coordinator here at the Foundation. He can be reached at (207) 338-5654, or by e-mail at don@switzernetwork. org. We would also appreciate your spreading the word about the Fellowships to your colleagues who work with environmental graduate students (in California and New England only).
Please be aware that this year's nomination deadline is Thursday, January 11, 2007. For most of you, this means the deadline will occur during winter break. We want to be sure everyone is aware of this early on.
If nominating a master's degree student, we are aware that the deadline is early enough in the student's program that you may not know your candidate very well. Please be sure to review the Fellowship qualifications. Competition for these Fellowships is intense - there are typically over 100 applicants for the ten Fellowships awarded each year in each region. Ensuring that your candidate meets the criteria before going through the nomination process will save you (and your student) a lot of time and energy. Please also note that the amount of the Fellowhip has increased to $15,000 for the coming year.
The Robert & Patricia Switzer Foundation identifies and nurtures environmental leaders who have the ability and determination to make a significant impact, and supports initiatives that will have direct and measurable results to improve environmental quality. The Foundation accomplishes this by awarding academic fellowships and project grants, sponsoring professional development activities, and fostering a growing network of Switzer Fellows, environmental practitioners and organizations. More details about the Switzer Foundation Fellowship and related programs can be found on our website, www.switzernetwork. org.
If you have any questions or concerns about the nominating process, or the Fellowship in general, please do not hesitate to contact Switzer Foundation staff. Thank you, and we look forward to receiving your nominations.

Europäische Integration

Armenien, Aserbaidschan und Georgien
auf dem Weg nach Europa
Von Vahram Soghomonyan
2007, 204 S.,
ISBN 978-3-8329-2403- 4
(Nomos Universitätsschrifte n – Politik, Bd. 140)
In the course of a comprehensive value change in the South Caucasus, Armenia and Georgia are trying to uphold their European identity. At the same time, oil interests challenge the democratisation of Azerbaijan. Meanwhile, the political landscape of the South Caucasus is strongly distinguished by the '88 Karabakh movement and the Rose revolution. The growing consensus for integration is fostering a regional cooperation model within the European framework.
Which social forces and capital interests, such as the capital of Diaspora and oil companies are pushing forward the Europeanization of the region?
These and other issues discussed in the study describe the current reconfiguration process, which raises the question of Europe’s borders and emphasises the role of the South Caucasus as a geopolitical bridgehead.
Im Zuge eines umfassenden Wertewandels im Südkaukasus versuchen Armenien und Georgien ihre europäische Identität zu behaupten. Zugleich wird die Demokratisierung Aserbaidschans durch Erdölinteressen herausgefordert. Dabei sind für den Südkaukasus die 88er Karabach-Bewegung und die Rosenrevolution prägend. Der heranwachsende Konsens zur Integration stellt ein regionales Kooperationsprojekt in Anbindung an Europa in Aussicht.
Welche sozialen Kräfte und Kapitalinteressen, z.B. von Diasporakapital und Energiekonzernen, treiben die Europäisierung der Region voran? Diese Rekonfi guration wirft die Frage nach den Grenzen Europas auf und hebt die Rolle der Region
als geopolitischer Brückenkopf hervor.

PhD Studentship in Atomic and Laser Physics - University of Oxford
Studentship in Atomic and Laser Physics
Two studentships in the theory of ultra-cold gases,
*Professor Keith Burnett and Dr Thorsten Köhler*
We invite applications to join our research effort in the area of many- and few-particle physics of ultra-cold atomic gases. Our research interests include: the preparation of macroscopic superposition quantum states, molecule production in Bose-Einstein condensates via photo-association and Feshbach resonances, pairing phenomena in ultra-cold atomic Fermi gases and exotic three-body molecular bound states formed in ultra-cold Bose gases.
The first student project involves development and numerical implementation of time dependent descriptions of pairing and molecule formation in ultra-cold Bose and Fermi gases exposed to rapidly time varying magnetic fields. Such simulations aim to provide a microscopic understanding of the mechanism of atomic pairing in such systems and its widespread applications throughout many-particle physics, e.g. in the theory of superconductivity.
The second project refers to the theory of inter-particle collisions in ultra-cold gases involving three or four atoms. This research aims to elucidate the structure of exotic molecular quantum states whose wave functions can reach macroscopic sizes. Both projects will be performed in close collaboration with experimental groups.
Both studentships are available to start from February 2007.
The closing date for applications is *Friday, 19th January 2007*.
Applications should be made on the usual University application form - available from http://www.ox. ac.uk/admissions / . Completed forms with all supporting material should be sent to Atomic and Laser Physics, Clarendon Laboratory, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PU, UK.
Please quote reference no: *alp/002* and clearly state the project you wish

An opportunity has arisen for a high calibre graduate to undertake an MSc by Research in consumer attitudes to water conservation measures.
Awareness of water conservation issues continues to grow with increasing demands placed on water resources. Attitudes to water conservation measures are important influences on individual willingness to take action. Many of these attitudes are culturally based. With progressively heterogeneous societies, an understanding of the relationships between attitudes to water as a resource and commodity and possible responses to conservation initiatives is becoming increasingly important.
This research activity will entail a review of theory and existing empirical studies on these issues, application of statistical analysis techniques to data from questionnaire based surveys conducted in four countries in the Middle East. Preparation of reports and papers to support the project will also be required.
The successful applicant will be based within the Centre for Water Science at Cranfield University, which undertakes internationally leading research, education and training in technology and associated scientific, engineering and policy issues for the treatment, use and management of water. The Centre has been awarded an EPSRC 'Technology Platform' in recognition of our international standing and are the first university department outside of the USA to be awarded American Water Works Association Research Foundation (AwwaRF) funding. Unique facilities include a pilot-plant hall at Cranfield's own sewage treatment works and state-of-the- art laboratories.
*Entry Requirements* :
Applicants should have a First or Upper Second Class Honours degree, or equivalent, in the Social or Human Sciences, environmental or behavioural psychology, and experience of analysing both quantitative and qualitative data. Good written English as well as some knowledge or experience of the water sector would also be desirable.
**Value of Award*:
This studentship will cover tuition fees at the UK/EU rate only and provide a bursary of up to £17,000 plus fees. Conditions apply. Details on application.

Master Environmental Governance- Freiburg University Germany
Dear MEG and FEM students,
the MEG programme has only recently been recognized
by DAAD as postgraduate program with relevance to developing countries. The big
advantage of belonging to the cercle of those MSc programmes is that DAAD
provides a limited number of scholarships for candidates. Unfortunately the
scholarships are not applicable for you, the students who already started the
program, but only for future students.
However, I would like to ask you a favor. The
deadline for application (winter semester 2007) is very soon, on 15 January. If
you know someone from a developing country with two years of professional
experience (this is an undispendsable prerequisite) and interest in
doing the MEG programme please inform him/her about this opportunity. For more
information please have a look at http://www.msc- environmental- governance. uni-freiburg. de/news/index_ en.php#dev.
Thank you very much for your support,
Esther

Reminder: CFP "Memory and Nostalgia" 11th INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL STUDIES SYMPOSIUM
11th INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL STUDIES SYMPOSIUM
May 9-11, 2007
Ege University , Faculty of Letters, Izmir , TURKEY
CALL FOR PAPERS
Memory and Nostalgia
The dialectic between ‘Memory’ and ‘Nostalgia’ has always been a significant issue for various disciplines like history, sociology, psychology, cultural studies, gender studies, media studies, literature, etc. Especially nostalgia, as Sean Scanlan states, has an uncanny ability to exceed any constraining definition (1). As a Greek term, comprising the two parts nostos (to return home) and algos (pain), nostalgia, Linda Hutcheon explains, was coined in 1688 by a Swiss medical student as a sophisticated … way to talk about a literally lethal kind of severe homesickness (1). In Nicholas Dames’ terms, nostalgia is a form of retrospect that remembers only what is pleasant and only what the self can employ in the present; … [it is] an absence; what it lacks is what… has come to be regarded as memory in its purest form (4). Nostalgia, then, is a memory that is always only the necessary prehistory of the present [which] consists of the stories about one’s past
that explain and consolidate memory rather than dispersing it into a series of vivid, relinquished moments and … [which] can only survive by eradicating the ‘pure memory’ (Dames 4).
Nostalgia has always been a useful compensatory tool to construct an alternative historical reality created by the images of the golden past, especially when there is discontent with the present socio-economic situation in any culture. Just like governing bodies, modern global corporations also use nostalgia to advertise their commodities by relating either their products or companies to a more desirable time in the past. By implanting modified images in the prospective clients’ minds, such advertising strategies rewrite history through forged memories about the good old days when prices were more reasonable, goods more durable, and services were more satisfactory.
As Dylan Trigg, the author of The Aesthetics of Decay: Nothingness, Nostalgia, and the Absence of Reason (2006) claims, nostalgia demands … the fixation of the past … Thus, both static images – memories – and lived experience – place – serve as homogenous platforms for the nostalgic conscious to impose and identify itself (1). Both memory and nostalgia, then, have always had some spatial and territorial connotations, whether real or ideal, either in some negative or positive sense.
This symposium, then, aims to explore how memory and nostalgia collaborate to construct a meaningful space in a given culture, both individually and collectively, either through the willing suspension of disbelief or as a state apparatus, with reference to such issues as globalism, consumerism, nation-states, neo-conservatism, etc. During the symposium we hope such questions as Linda Hutcheon raises about the relationship between postmodernism and nostalgia will also be discussed: Was [the] postmodern recalling of the past an example of a conservative – and therefore nostalgic – escape to an idealized, simpler era of ‘real’ (1). Or, if nostalgia is given surplus meaning and value at certain moments – millennial moments, like our own, has nostalgia become an obsession of both mass culture and high art or is it only the media’s obsession (Hutcheon 1).
Proposals might include, but are not limited to:
· Nostalgia and Collective Memory
· Cultural Memory as Cultural Repression
· Cultural Memory = Nostalgia
· Culture as Nostalgic Object and Commodity
· Nostalgia, Consumerism, and the Heritage Industry
· Nostalgia and Ideology
· Diaspora and Nostalgia
· Diaspora as Temporal Displacement
· Nostalgia and Ideology
· Homologies of Religious Faith and Cultural Memory or Nostalgia
· Nostalgia as a Social Disease
· The Violence of Cultural Memory
· Nostalgia as the Abdication of Memory
· Community without Nostalgia
· Trauma, Collective Memory, and Nostalgia
· Pain and Authenticity
· Nostalgic Structures of Feeling in Cultural Studies
· Mourning and Melancholia in Cultural Memory
· Reflective and Restorative Nostalgia
· Nation, Narration, and Nostalgia
· Counter Nostalgia
· Literature and Art as Cultural Memory
· Media of Memory (Historical Monuments, Public Archives, Oral Histories, etc.)
· Popular Culture, Amnesia, and Nostalgia
· Personal Memory, Collective Identity, and Nostalgia
· Historiography, Autobiography, and Nostalgia
· Memory as a Means of Cultural Regeneration
· Nostalgia, Memorabilia, and Subcutaneous Advertising
· Values and Nostalgia
· Nationalist Interests and Nostalgia

CALL FOR PANEL: UACES 37th Annual Conference
Dear colleagues,
I would like to organise a panel on the concept of and literature on Europeanisation in UACES 37th Annual Conference in Portsmouth. I will submit a paper about Europeanisation/ modernisation relationship and how it is dealt with in the Europeanisation literature.
I will try to indicate the limitations of the literature in analysing social change and modernisation by looking at the Turkish political modernisation and Europeanisation. I am looking for two other papers critically engaged with the Europeanisation literature and problematising the current usages of the term. If you think that you have a relevant paper to submit to this panel, please contact me. Further details are accesible at:

Center for the Study of Law and Culture Scholarship
Deadline: 15 February 2007
The Center for the Study of Law and Culture at Columbia University invites applications for residential fellowships for the 2007-2008 academic year to undertake research, writing and discussion in ways that span traditional academic disciplines. The CSLC welcomes scholars from any field who are interested in spending the academic year in residence at Columbia Law School working on scholarly projects relating to the CSLC's 2007-2008 theme: Executive Power.
We aim to appoint fellows whose scholarship addresses the critical and legal implications of expanding executive power not merely from the perspective of the state—such as the Bush administration' s celebrated attempt to expand executive privilege vis-à-vis the other branches of US government—but from the perspective of power more generally. Since the post-structural assault on theories of power that posited it as emanating from a concentrated source, critical theory has conceptualized power as dispersed, capillary, and simultaneously productive and repressive. What might be the ramifications on legal and critical thought and practice at the intersection of new attempts to concentrate institutionally various forms and careers of power? We invite in particular scholarship whose focus is outside the US and lies at the critical conjuncture of law and culture. Fellows will be required to present an original paper from their research and to participate in a year long colloquium on the same topic.
The Law & Culture Fellowship is available to senior graduate students and post-doctoral candidates, including untenured faculty.
Founded in the fall of 2000, the Center for the Study of Law and Culture is an initiative at Columbia Law School designed to facilitate interdisciplinary study, research and scholarship on the intersections of law and culture. Our goal is to make the CSLC an institutional site for coordinating and coalescing the important, yet dispersed, interrogations of the relationship between law and culture that are already being undertaken across disciplines at Columbia University. By promoting and providing a home for cross-disciplinary engagement and collaboration, the CSLC will enrich each of our individual projects in law and culture studies.
Fellows will receive a stipend of $30,000, an office, computer, eligibility for university housing, and full access to university libraries, computer systems and recreational facilities. Fellows will be expected to participate in CSLC activities including presentation of a paper at the Center's Colloquium Series, and assistance in organizing Center events.
Applicants should submit:
1- a curriculum vitae
2- a writing sample (in the English language, about 25 pages in length)
3- a research statement (of approximately 1,000 words) that:
- describes the proposed work during the fellowship period
- explains the project's significance to the topic of Executive Power
- sets forth its interdisciplinary nature
4- TWO letters of recommendation (if sent with application, letter should be sealed in letterhead envelope and signed over the flap by referee). If more than two are sent, it is not guaranteed that all letters will be read.
Applications must be received at our office no later than February 15, 2007. E-mail applications will be accepted. Letters of recommendation may be sent under separate cover. Incomplete applications will be immediately disqualified.
Direct questions and application materials to:
Center for the Study of Law and Culture
Columbia University
435 W. 116th Street
New York, N.Y. 10027

The award will consist of payment of travel, per diem expenses and registration fee to attend the ALT VII Conference, to be held in Paris, September 25 to September 28, 2007, and to present a synopsis or element of the prize-winning work as a plenary lecture at that meeting. From 2007 this Award will be known as the Joseph Greenberg Award, in honour of the late Joseph Greenberg's fundamental
contributions to typology and the interest he showed in encouraging young researchers.
To be eligible, those submitting their manuscript must be members of the ALT. They are asked to submit their dissertation by email in pdf format, with all non-standard fonts in Unicode, to the Chair of the Jury, to arrive no later than February 1, 2007. If this proves technically difficult, the candidate is asked to discuss the problem with the chair.
A jury, consisting of 5 ALT members, will be appointed by ALT's President, appropriate to the work submitted. The chair will be

The position is temporary; the initial contract will be for two years and can be extended, subject to the availability of funding. The starting date is January 2007 or as soon as possible. The position is especially suitable for a student wishing to pursue a doctoral degree in Computational Linguistics at the University of Potsdam.
The ideal candidate
* holds a strong Master's degree (or equivalent) in Computational Linguistics or Computer Science,
* has a background in statistical techniques and machine-learning methods in Natural Language Processing,
* is familiar with grammar induction techniques and/or statistical machine translation,
* has good programming skills,
* is self-motivated, goal-oriented and likes working in a team.

The Panini Award 2007
ALT is proud to announce the establishment of a new grammar prize to encourage and honour achievements in the field of documenting the world's linguistic diversity through the writing of reference grammars. To be eligible, a grammar must provide a systematic, accessible, comprehensive, original, insightful and typologically well-informed account of the workings of the language being described, generously exemplified with natural data. Though the normal expectation is that it would deal with a hitherto little-described language, outstanding grammars of better-known
languages or dialects thereof may also be considered if they achieve major breakthroughs in a comprehensive understanding of the language. Grammars may be written in any major language, subject to the availability of a sufficient and geographically balanced set of jury members able to read the language.
Entries will be judged by a committee of half-a-dozen distinguished linguists, including a number of judges who have themselves written major reference grammars but also typologists and other categories of grammar-reader. The chair of the jury will be nominated before the submission date by the President of the ALT, in consultation with the Executive committee, and the chair and the president will then constitute the jury once the full set of submissions is known.
The ALT grammar prize will be awarded every two years, with the winner announced in time for them to present a plenary lecture or language tutorial at the next ALT Conference, setting out the most typologically interesting aspects of the language.
There will be two categories of prize, on alternating four year cycles - one, to be known as the Panini Grammar Award, for grammars written as dissertations, and one, to be known as the Georg von der Gabelentz Grammar Award, for published grammars.
For each category, any grammar (respectively) passed as a dissertation or published in the four year period leading up to December 31st in the year preceding the ALT Conference, will be eligible provided that it meets the conditions above and that the author is a member of the ALT. Grammars which win the Panini award cannot be submitted at a later date for the Gabelentz award. Six copies of the entry must be submitted to the Chair of the Jury by February 1st of the year following the four year period. In the case of the Panini award only, entries may be submitted as a pdf file with embedded fonts, except that submission of bound copies is preferred in the case of countries such as the Netherlands where a form of non-commercial publication is a requirement. Submitted copies remain the property of the members of the jury. It will normally be the responsibility of the applicant to cover the costs of submitting their work, but the Chair will consider applications for assistance in the case of demonstrable financial hardship. It is planned that the initial award would be made in 2007, in the Dissertation category. Marianne Mithun has kindly agreed to chair the first Panini award, and anyone wishing to be considered should send their entries to her address:
Marianne Mithun
Dept of Linguistics
University of California at Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara, CA 93106
USA
mithun@linguistics. ucsb.edu
Prize winners for the Panini award will receive a paid fare to and accommodation and registration at the ALT conference at which they will present their plenary, as well as a collection of reference grammars and other works donated by major publishers in the area. Because of current financial limitations on the ALT Budget, Prizewinners for the Gabelentz award will not receive a paid fare to the ALT conference, but other
conditions will be identical.
