Dear former CRC Participants and Applicants,

The application deadline for the Spring 2007 CRC sessions for IRES and for Nationalism was extended till 25th of February, 2007.

We kindly ask you to dissaminate this information among you collegues who might be interested in the announced topics and intend to apply for our program. Bellow you can find the description of the above pointed out sessions, both of them , we believe , raise up two very interesting and actual topic for the Region: "International Relations and European Studies Varieties of East-European Capitalisms

March 19 *23, 2007
(new deadline for applications: 25 February, 2007)

This CRC workshop is an application of the Varieties of Capitalism approach to the diversity of emerging capitalism in Central and Eastern Europe. The theme is readily connected to seminars in comparative politics and comparative political economy. It also invites faculty to debate the much discussed and sizable literature on varieties of capitalism in advanced countries. Academics teaching or planning to introduce this topic in their courses are encouraged to apply.

Nationalism
Nationalism and the Jews in Modern Times

March 26 * 30, 2007
(new deadline for applications: 25 February, 2007)

The session co-organised with the Nationalism department proposes to explore the emergence of modern nationalism, with particular focus on the manifold challenges that faced the Jews of Eastern, Central and Western Europe as competing national ideologies demanded their allegiance or rejected them as totally unassimilable. It will examine relevant topics >from the late 18th-century integration of Jews into European society until the late 20th-century fall of communism.

Emphasis will be placed on primary sources - and primary source collections - which can be used in teaching seminars and lecture classes. The session is recommended for teachers of History, Nationalism Studies and Jewish Studies who are interested in integrating new voices and perspectives in their teaching."

with best regards,
