Deadline: 30 April 2016
Open to: PhD students and early career researchers from social and cultural anthropology, sociology, political science, and related fields of cultural studies and social sciences
Venue: 4 – 8 July 2016 at University of Tuebingen, Germany
Description
The Summer School will take place from 4 – 8 July 2016 at the University of Tuebingen, as a cooperation between the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 923 “Threatened Order – Societies under Stress”, the Center for Gender and Diversity Research, and the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity (Göttingen). The aim of the Summer School is to learn about and discuss relevant topics and academic approaches through a dialogue between different agents from the field: academics, practitioners, and refugees.
Both those people categorized as ‘refugees’ and the societies receiving them are extremely diverse. Due to a lack of academic expertise and theorization, this aspect has so far been only marginally acknowledged in the German-speaking context. The Summer School hosts a total of 22 participants, whereas minimum of 4 places is reserved for refugee participants
