Governance and Mobility in Eurasia: Continuity and Discontinuity

University of Wisconsin, Madison
March 31- April 2, 2006

Application Deadline: November 30, 2005 
The Eurasia Program of the Social Science Research Council invites
applications for a three-day dissertation development workshop, focusing
on issues of governance and mobility in Eurasia. The proposed research
may examine any aspect of governance and mobility, both broadly
conceived, in historical, contemporary, or comparative perspective. 
For purposes of the workshop, governance is understood as processes of
interaction through which power is exercised in the distribution of
economic, political and cultural resources among and between
individuals, groups, and socio-political institutions. Mobility is
conceptualized as both spatial and socio-economic relocation,
reorganization and change. These processes and dynamics can be examined
at global, regional, national and local levels.
Graduate students from relevant social science and humanities
disciplines, who are at any stage of the dissertation process (from
proposal to write-up), and whose projects examine Eurasia (including the
Russian Empire, Soviet Union, and New States of Eurasia) are eligible to
apply.
If selected, participant costs will be fully covered by the SSRC.
Funding for this workshop is provided by the United States Department of
State, Program for Research and Training for Eastern Europe and the
Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (Title VIII). Only U.S.
citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply.
Additional information, including application details, can be found on
our website,
www.ssrc.org/programs/eurasia/Title8_Dissertation_Workshops/. All
questions should be addressed to eurasia at ssrc.org.
