Baltic Studies Summer Institute (BALSSI) at UW-Madison

[Jennifer Tishler]

  Dear Colleagues,

The Center for Russia, East Europe, and Central Asia (CREECA) and the 
Department of Scandinavian Studies at the University of 
Wisconsin-Madison will once again host the Baltic Studies Summer 
Institute (BALSSI) from June 13-August 5, 2011. Instruction in first- 
and second-year Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian will be offered. 
BALSSI 2011 will also include lectures (in English) on Baltic history 
and culture and a rich program of cultural events and field trips 
related to the Baltic countries.

Information and application materials are available on the BALSSI Web 
site: www.creeca.wisc.edu/balssi
The priority deadline for admission and the fee remission grant is April 
11, 2011.
Application deadline for Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) 
fellowships at UW-Madison is February 15, 2011.

Thanks to a generous grant from the American Council of Learned 
Societies (ACLS), the program fee for first-year Estonian and 
second-year Latvian will be waived for graduate students specializing in 
East European studies in any discipline. (Students will still be 
responsible for paying UW-Madison segregated fees.)

Graduate students interested in Estonian, Latvian, or Lithuanian are 
also encouraged to apply directly to ACLS for a summer language grant to 
individuals. Deadline: January 14, 2011:

BALSSI is sponsored by a consortium of ten US universities and receives 
additional support from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic 
Studies, ACLS, and the Lithuanian Foundation. For further information 
about BALSSI 2011, please contact Nancy Heingartner, BALSSI program 
coordinator, balssi at creeca.wisc.edu, 1-608-262-3379.

With best wishes to all,
Jennifer
