New Journalism Grant for Central Asia - Extended SRAS Deadlines

[Josh Wilson]

Dear SEELANGERs! 

 

Home and Abroad: Report is the latest addition to a lineup of generous Home
and Abroad scholarships and intensive internships from The School of Russian
and Asian Studies (SRAS). Based in Bishkek for spring and summer 2013, one
recipient will receive $11,000 to help build research and reporting skills
abroad. 

Applications are due November 30!

SRAS has also announced extended deadlines (to November 20) for all Spring
programs in Bishkek and Kiev. These include: 

 

Central Asian Studies: for adventurous students looking to understand a
militarily and economically vital part of the world where Islam and
Christianity, as well as Russian, Western, Chinese, and local interests mix
and sometimes collide. Students will gain a wider, fuller, first-hand
perspective on geopolitics and foreign relations to start their future in
government, business, or academia.

Policy and Conflict in the Post-Soviet Space: for those who want to
critically analyze the post-Soviet era. Students will visit Ukraine,
Moldova, Georgia, and Russia and will discuss the conflicts in these states,
both past and present, with local students, teachers, and experts. The
competing foreign interests at work in these states will also be explored.
Students will also intensively study Russian, an important language of
diplomacy across the post-Soviet space.

Russian as a Second Language (only Kiev and Bishkek locations have extended
deadlines) program packages are designed for flexibility to suit almost any
need or interest.  Home Stays and TORFL Testing are optionally available.

Those of you not subscribed to our newsletter might also be interested to
learn that SRAS has recently published the 12th issue of Vestnik, The
Journal of Russian and Asian Studies, which showcases some of the best
research that the upcoming generation of experts on Russia and the former
USSR has to offer. With papers ranging from linguistic rights in Ukraine to
public perceptions of environmental issues in Irkutsk to the practices of a
modern Russian NGO, this new issue also shows the diversity of the important
issues that the former USSR presents to scholars and policy makers.
