ANNUAL EUROPE-ASIA / OSTEUROPA LECTURE COMPETITION
The journals Europe-Asia Studies (Glasgow, Scotland, UK) and Osteuropa
(Aachen, Germany) invite submissions for the fifth
ANNUAL EUROPE-ASIA / OSTEUROPA LECTURE
to be delivered in May 2002 in Aachen/Cologne and at the Institute of
Central and East European Studies, University of Glasgow. The title of the
lecture series refers to Europe-Asia Studies, formerly Soviet Studies, and
to Osteuropa, the two major international journals in the field of Russian,
Central and East European studies. The winning lecture will subsequently be
published in both journals.
The goal of the lecture is to spot young and particularly promising
researchers in the field of Central and East European studies (social
scientists and historians) working in these countries and to present them to
the worldwide academic community involved in 'transition studies' and
history.
Europe-Asia Studies and Osteuropa invite young scholars (approximately 28 to
40 years old) educated and resident in the countries of Central and Eastern
Europe (including the Baltic states, Russia and other CIS countries) to
submit a Draft Lecture no longer than 2,000 words which will be the basis
for the lecture to be delivered in May 2002 in Germany and in Glasgow. This
Draft Lecture can be a summary of recent work and should particularly
highlight creative research tools or techniques, new theory or creative use
of archival material by the applicant.
Since the lecture will be presented in English, the applicant must have a
good command of spoken English.
The author of the winning application will be invited to deliver the lecture
in Glasgow and Aachen/Cologne and will stay in each city for three days;
travel and accommodation expenses will be met by the two journals.
Applications must include (1) the Draft Lecture, (2) a one-page curriculum
vitae including date of birth, (3) a full list of publications of the
