ANNUAL EUROPE-ASIA / OSTEUROPA LECTURE COMPETITION (deadline 1.1.2002)
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 and at the Institute of Central and
East European Studies, University of Glasgow. The name of the lecture 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 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. In 1998 the competition was won by Oleg Kharkhordin ('Civil Society
and Orthodox Christianity'), in 1999 by Vladimir Gel'man ('Russia's Regional
Politics in Comparative Perspective'), in 2000 by Serguei Oushakine ('In the
State of Post-Soviet Aphasia') and in 2001 by Alla Kassianova, who spoke on
'Russia in Search of its Identity: The Role of the West'.
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 ten EU applicant states in Central Europe, Russia and
other CIS countries) to submit a Draft Lecture no longer than 2,000 words
which is to 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 of these for three days;
travel and accommodation expenses will be met by the two journals.
Applications should include (1) the Draft Lecture, (2) a one-page curriculum
vitae including date of birth, (3) a full list of publications of the
applicant (each of these in 4 copies) and his or her mailing address,
preferably including email and fax number. Applications are to be sent to:
The Editor, Europe-Asia Studies
Institute of Central and East European Studies,
The University of Glasgow,
Hetherington Building, Bute Gardens,
Glasgow, Scotland G12 8RS, UK.
Applications sent by fax or email will not be accepted. The deadline for
applications is 1 January 2002. The winning applicant will be informed by 1
March 2002. See also http://www.gla.ac.uk/icees/comp2002.html
