CFA: Undergrad and Masters Research Symposia, NYU Jordan Center

Deadline: January 15, 2023

Announcing: NYU Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia Masters and Undergraduate Research Symposia

We are excited to announce the launch of our new annual master’s research symposium and undergraduate research symposium! This Spring, we will host 20 undergraduates and 20 master’s students at two separate symposia for a day of presentation, discussion, networking, and exploration!

We invite presentation proposals from undergraduates and master’s students enrolled at universities in the Northeastern USA (including Washington DC) who are pursuing or have pursued research projects, internships, or other opportunities related to Russia, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia. Both symposia will feature two different types of panels:

1. Traditional research panels featuring 10-12 minute talks on executed research projects
2. Casual, discussion-based panels featuring 4-5 minute talks on experiences - internships, study abroad, volunteer opportunities, and more - related to the region

Each accepted participant presenting a research project will be placed onto a panel organized by format and theme, will receive feedback from a discussant, and will be given time to discuss questions with the audience. Accepted participants presenting on experiences in the field will be placed on a single panel, and will get the chance to discuss with both a moderator and the audience. All participants are highly encouraged to create well-polished presentations, including slides.

Each separate symposium will run for one day in the Jordan Center. Symposia will feature keynote speakers, and will each conclude with a networking dinner off-campus. All accepted participants will have their travel costs covered by the Jordan Center, as well as one night in a hotel close to campus.

How to apply:

Deadline: December 31, 2021

Call for papers for proposed special cluster of Russian Language Journal 

 

Undergraduate Research in Russian Language Studies 

 

Guest Editors: Svetlana Sokolova and Anna Endresen. 

 

Brief description: 

Undergraduate research, as defined by the American Association of Colleges and Universities “involve[s] students with actively contested questions, empirical observation, cutting-edge technologies, and the sense of excitement that comes from working to answer important questions.” Undergraduate research is considered a high impact practice that can increase student learning driven by mentoring relationships with faculty while also building a culture of innovation and scholarship on campus. 

 

In addition to its usual topics, Volume 72, issue 1 of Russian Language Journal will involve a special cluster of articles, focusing on undergraduate research. The guest editors seek research articles in which undergraduate students are involved as researchers and as co-authors on any topic related to Russian-language study, including, but not limited to: 

• curriculum and materials design 
• assessment and evaluation 
• other areas of scholarship related to Russian language (linguistics, sociolinguistics, translation studies, etc.) 

 

All articles should include students as co-authors. Articles may be written in English or Russian. Note that all articles will go through a peer-review process. An invitation to submit an article does not necessarily constitute acceptance. 

 

To join this special cluster, please send by December 31, 2021 your name and affiliation, and a title and abstract (up to 750 words) in English or Russian for your submission to both Svetlana Sokolova (svetlana.sokoloa@uit.no) and Anna Endresen (anna.endresen@uit.no). Your abstract should outline the article’s focus and methodological approach.

RLJ volume 72 will also accept other Russian-language related topics not related to the special cluster.

 

Projected timeline for volume 72, issue 1 of Russian Language Journal: 

 

December 31, 2021: authors submit titles and abstracts 

January 15, 2022: authors notified about invitation to submit their article to special issue

CFA: M.A. Programs in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies (UPenn and EUSP)

Deadline: March 22, 2021 (Dual M.A. Program) and April 30, 2021 (EUSP M.A. Programs)

UPenn-EUSP Dual M.A. in REES

The University of Pennsylvania and the European University at St. Petersburg have opened admissions for a dual-degree M.A. program in Russian and East European Studies, which will welcome its first cohort of students this coming fall. Students spend one year at Penn, followed by a summer and a year at EUSP, engage in archival or field research leading to a thesis, and undertake intensive language study. In distinction from many area studies programs, in our program each student will pursue a specified academic discipline of concentration represented among our faculty (anthropology, art history, demography, film studies, history, international business studies, international relations, Jewish studies, literary and cultural history, medieval studies, political science, sociology, etc.). At the program’s conclusion, students receive coordinated M.A. degrees from both Penn and EUSP. Graduates of the program will be well prepared to pursue either further study at the Ph.D. level or to go on to careers in government service, think tanks and business in the United States, their home countries or internationally.

Applications for this program are due on March 22. Note as well that fellowships will be available for a number of applicants on a competitive basis, thanks to a generous gift from Polymetal International, Plc. A seed grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York made the launch of this program at Penn possible.

Students can learn more about the Penn-EUSP Dual-Degree M.A. in REES at our websites: https://rees.sas.upenn.edu/graduate/university-pennsylvania-european-university-st-petersburg-dual-ma-program-russian-and-east and https://eupenn.eusp.org/. Any questions that arise can be directed to Kevin M. F. Platt  (kmfplatt@sas.upenn.edu) and counterpart, Dr. Gevorg Avetikyan at EUSP (avetikyan@eu.spb.ru). (Please include both in any correspondence).

IMARES and ENERPO M.A. Programs

EUSP also offers two standalone international MA programs, designed especially for non-Russian students: Russian and Eurasian Studies (IMARES) and Energy Politics in Eurasia (ENERPO). More detailed information is available here: http://int.eusp.org/ This year, these programs have continued in remote online format, as a result of the ongoing health crisis. Yet we hope and anticipate that international travel will become easier and we will return to in-person teaching in the coming academic year, as vaccination progresses and the pandemic eases. Applications are due by April 30 for these programs.

A limited number of full fellowships, with living stipend, will be available for highly qualified American students who wish to study in EUSP’s programs in St. Petersburg next year. In order to apply for a fellowship, in addition to applying to EUSP, students should contact William G. Rosenberg at wgr@umich.edu. Decisions will be made relatively quickly on a rolling basis. In the event the pandemic will make study in St. Petersburg impossible in the fall, it will also be possible to study online with fellowship support, or to defer these fellowships grants.

CFP: 1989: “We Could Be Heroes” – 30 Years After, Undergraduate Summer Conference

Deadline to Apply: June 1, 2019

Date: 

Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - 9:00am to Friday, August 23, 2019 - 5:00pm

Location:

Central European University, Budapest, Hungary

The tumultuous year of 1989 has led to dramatic shifts in international relations: with the end of the Cold War the bi-polar international order has changed, creating a new security landscape. The crumbling economies of the Communist world gave way to capitalism, which itself had been changing. Totalitarian and authoritarian regimes began democratising. The Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall came down. Europe reunited. “History ended”. Or so it seemed.

On the 30th anniversary, it is time to reflect on the hopes and desires of 1989. While the 30 years after 1945 is remembered as the Trente Glorieuses (the Thirty Glorious Years) of uninterrupted economic development across much of Western Europe, the three decades since 1989 conjure up very different images in East Central Europe. Liberty was quickly attained, though some argue that 1989 remains an “unfinished revolution”. Democratic backsliding, observable across the region to a varying degree, appears to be a case in point. Russia’s growing influence and “return to the region” has brought back the existential fear in some countries, and raised the prospect of a new Cold War with a new Iron Curtain at the EU’s external borders.

Each country has had a different perspective on 1989: in some countries it was a popular revolution, velvet or bloody, in others it was an “unfinished revolution” of elite negotiations. Some countries gained their national independence, while others view it as the start of new dependencies. Have these differences influenced how 1989 is viewed 30 years later? This conference is looking to explore what 1989 means for those who were born well after the Wall came down. How do they view the legacy of 1989 today? And what is its legacy? How have the diverse experiences of that year shaped these countries’ thinking on security, their political, and economic developments, societies? How has this legacy influenced the new world order after the collapse of the bi-polar system?

We welcome students to submit papers/podcasts/vodcasts/photo portfolios relevant to any of the above questions from either side of the Wall. We particularly encourage submissions in the following broader topics:

• The Legacy of 1989
• Democratic Backsliding in Central and Eastern Europe
• “The Thirty Years’ Crisis”: Economic Convergence in the EU
• State vs. Citizens – The “Unfinished Revolution” of Civic Empowerment and Civil Society
• Security and Russia’s Influence in (Central and Eastern) Europe
• Go West? Foreign Policy after the Cold War
• A Continent Reunited? Norms, Values, and Identity in (Central and Eastern) Europe

Please submit your abstracts or podcast/vodcast/portfolio proposal* to this form by 1 June 2019. Submissions should be between 250-300 words. Final papers are expected to be 3-4,000 words.

Selected participants will be grouped into panels according to their research topics. Participants will give 10-15-minute presentations based on their papers to a panel of faculty and graduate students. The presentations will be open to the public.

Students will be informed of the decision by 30 June 2019. The language of the conference is English and will take place in Budapest from 21-23 August 2019.

The conference is open to BA/BSc students of international relations, political science, or any related fields (e.g. sociology, economics, etc.), who will have completed their first year at university by the time of the conference. The conference fee is €75 which covers accommodation for two nights in the CEU Residence Centre, meals, social events, 72-hour public transport in Budapest, and free Wi-Fi. Students who do not require accommodation should indicate this on the form. The reduced fee for those who do not need accommodation and a Budapest travel card is €45.

 *Please be aware that if you intend to submit a podcast/vodcast/portfolio, you will also be expected to submit a 1,000 word paper to supplement your submission.
