Power and Movement across Eurasia
April 10, 2010 The Organizations for the Advancement of Studies of Inner Eurasian Societies (OASIS) at Columbia University, New York University, and Yale University are pleased to announce the third annual OASIES Student Conference. Topic: Power and Movement Across Eurasia.” The conference seeks to bring together scholars who deal with different regions and epochs of Eurasian history and culture in order to examine the relationship between power, in all its forms, and movement, within and across the Eurasian steppe and its neighboring regions, from a variety of disciplinary and methodological perspectives. For more information regarding the event visit www.oasies.org
A call for papers has been issued for a special issue of Central Asian Survey which will focus on ‘Movement, Power and Place in and Beyond Central Asia.’ Rather than
analyzing "flows" in the abstract, the papers in this volume will address the practices, material infrastructures and political relations through which people, ideas, images and things move or are moved, and also cross, and remake boundaries of various kinds. Papers will appear in the Spring 2011 issue of Central Asian Survey. Deadline: March 10th, 2010. Contact: Madeleine Reeves madeleinereeves@gmail.com or visit www.informaworld.com/ccas
The Soviet in Everyday Life Project
The Open Society Institute Higher Education Support Program invites junior university faculty or PhD candidates in the former Soviet Union (excluding the Baltics), as well as Mongolia, to submit applications for fellowships to attend the Regional Seminar for Excellence in Teaching (ReSET) program beginning July 2010. Eligible candidates will be from the disciplines of Anthropology, History, Sociology, Cultural Studies (Film/Literature), Area Studies, Communication/Media Studies, Geography, Political Science who plan to develop a course or develop a research project. The goal of the program is to pursue activities which will strengthen university-level teaching about the Soviet in everyday life, past and present. Undergraduate curricula throughout the former Soviet Union vary both by country and by discipline when it comes to how they deal with "the Soviet." We invite young faculty to consider curricula of higher education in their home countries in terms of how the study of the Soviet is represented there, and through their own research and the further development of courses related to the Soviet in everyday life. In some countries, social science textbooks and the lecturers who use them tend to avoid discussing the period entirely in order to avoid making a political misstep. When social science and philosophy courses do deal with the Soviet period, it is sometimes in simplistic and politicized terms ("empire," "totalitarian" and "gulag" or conversely "modernization" and "integration with the world through Russian culture"). In many places, there is not enough discussion of how the recent Soviet past can be studied for its influence on the present and some scholars have the attitude that that Soviet legacy is transparently understandable and has no need of further research or scholarly analysis. This can also be seen in the rejection of theoretical approaches such as post-colonialism and post-socialism in scholarly debates, where the consensus seems to be that each country had its own Soviet experience that is amenable neither to theorizing nor to comparison.
