INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES on Science, Technology and Society
(IAS-STS),
Graz - Austria
FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME 2004/2005
(deadline for applications: 15 January 2004)
The Institute for Advanced Studies on Science, Technology and Society(IAS-STS) offers five grants (EUR 1,000.- per month) for fellowships at the IAS-STS in Graz starting 1 October 2004, ending 30 June 2005.
The IAS-STS promotes the interdisciplinary investigation of the links and interactions between science, technology and society as well as research on the development and implementation of socially and environmentally sound technologies.
The IAS-STS provides the necessary research infrastructure, while a number of guest lecturers and workshops foster an atmosphere of creativity and scholarly discussion.
The grants of the fellowship programme 2004/2005 are dedicated to projects investigating the following issues:
1. Gender Technology Environment
Women with their various interests, competencies and potentials play important parts in the process of shaping socially sound andenvironmentally friendly, sustainable technologies be it as users and consumers, or as experts.
Applications should focus on research in the field of women in traditionally male fields of engineering, on ways of creating cultures of success for women engineers (students, graduates), and on masculinity and the culture of
engineering.
2. Ethical, Legal and Social Aspects of Genome Research and Biotechnology
A main focus of the grant scheme lies on the analysis of ethical, legal and social aspects of genome research. Research projects are expected to provide a better understanding of life sciences in concrete socio-cultural contexts of their fabrication, application and regulation. Researchers investigating risk issues are especially encouraged to apply.
3. Technology Studies and Sustainability Grants will be awarded for research projects contributing to the issue of sustainable development from the perspective of social studies or the history of science and technology.
Projects should aim at socio-economic aspects of environmental technologies or at strategies of environmental technology policy, such as user
participation, strategic niche management or ecological product policy.
We encourage both theoretical analysis and practically oriented case
studies.
The grant application must be submitted together with an application for a fellowship to the IAS-STS.
Prof. Arno Bamme, Director of the IAS-STS, decides on the awarding of fellowships and grants in consultation with the Scientific Advisory
Board.
Please note that it is also possible to apply for a fellowship without a grant or to apply for a short-term fellowship without grant (not longer than one month: Visiting Fellows). We also encourage senior scientists to apply as guest lecturers.
Closing date for applications is 15 January 2004.

THE CENTRAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY
NATIONALISM STUDIES PROGRAM
announce a
Call for applications for MA, PhD and DSP studies at the Central European
University in Budapest.
The deadline for application is January 5, 2004.
For information on the program and the offered grants and financial aid please
visit our homepage (http://www.ceu.hu/nation).
With questions regarding the program or the admission process please turn to
Szabolcs Pogonyi, the program coordinator (pogonyi@ceu.hu)
________________________________________________________________
The Nationalism Studies Program was established at Central European University
by the late Ernst Gellner with the goal of promoting the study of nationalism in
the post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet
Union. The aim of the program is to engage students in an empirical and
theoretical study of issues of nationalism, self-determination, problems of
state-formation, ethnic conflict, minority protection and the related theme of
globalization. Drawing upon the uniquely supranational milieu of Central
European University, it encourages a critical and non-sectarian study of
nationalism.
Students are encouraged to engage in an interdisciplinary study of nationalism,
a subject that is inherently and fundamentally interdisciplinary. For this
reason, the international teaching staff has been assembled to represent a wide
range of disciplinary expertise relevant to the study of nationalism including
history, social theory, economics, legal studies, sociology, anthropology,
international relations and political science. The program offers a wide
selection of courses that provide a complex theoretical grounding in problems
associated with nationhood and nationalism combined with advanced training in
the methodology of applied social science. Additional courses focus on placing
problems of nationalism in the context of economic and political transition as
well as constitution building in post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe with a
comparative outlook on regime transitions outside the region.
The Master of Arts degree in Nationalism Studies is registered by the Board of
Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) for and on behalf of the
New York State Education Department.
The faculty of the Nationalism Studies Program this year includes Mįria M.
Kovįcs, Andrįs Kovįcs, Petr Lom, Michael Miller, Will Kymlicka, Shlomo Avineri,
Rogers Brubaker, Yael Tamir, Michael Stewart, Erica Benner, Walter Kemp, Selim
Deringil, Rainer Bauböck, Michael Stanislawski, Marsha Rozenblit, Tibor Vįrady,
Victor Karįdy, Panayote Dimitras and Florian Bieber.

Rockefeller Foundation Humanities Fellowship Program - THEORIZING CULTURAL HERITAGE 2004-2007
Application deadline: January 15, 2004
Rockefeller Foundation Humanities Fellows at the Smithsonian Institution Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage will help expand and refine theoretical framework for cultural heritage discourse that reflects the perspectives, activities, and participation of academic specialists, civil society groups, and public cultural organizations and that can inform dialogues across social, political, and disciplinary boundaries.
Cultural heritage is today a rubric of ever-expanding scope in the international arena, and increasingly so in the United States. Its meaning largely determined by experts, cultural heritage is used as a basis for multinational, national, state, and local programs. Cultural heritage is also the focus of ideas and programs generated by hundreds of non-governmental organizations, ethnic, regional, and community-based groups.
However, despite its growing popularity across official, community, and even business sectors, the concept of "cultural heritage" is vastly under-theorized. It has lacked an academic, disciplinary base, has generated only an attenuated theoretical literature, and has generally failed to accommodate terminologies and narrative representations developed by grassroots and advocacy groups. This results in the curious contradiction that cultural heritage discourse becomes a uniform globalized mode of apprehending the diverse localized cultural expressions that are ostensibly its subject, yet that elite discourse is insulated from the diverse localized conceptions with which it converges. The voices of the bearers and stewards of cultural heritage-often, the poor, excluded, and marginalized-are typically silenced in those very forums in which the discourse of cultural heritage is articulated and realized.
The Smithsonian will host up to six humanities-oriented scholar/analysts for each of three years to work on the theoretical development of the concept of cultural heritage and its intersection with theories of culture, class, race, ethnicity, gender, and globalization. Fellows will be drawn from three sectors of cultural engagement -- academic institutions, public organizations, and cultural communities - and approximately half of the fellows will come from outside the United States. The intention is both to cross-fertilize sectors of cultural heritage work and to expose international and U.S. thinkers to one another.
The primary focus of 2004-2005 fellowships is the relation between cultural heritage and political representation; of 2005-2006, between cultural heritage and economic pursuits; of 2006-2007, between cultural heritage and the arts.
Fellowships include a stipend in addition to an allowance for travel to and from Washington, D.C., as necessary, for the residency. Applicants need not be U.S. citizens to be eligible. These fellowships are not intended to support undergraduate or graduate studies.
The Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage-where cultural heritage is the subject of ongoing, daily intellectual and practical activity-will host the fellows. Given the Center's location within the Smithsonian and in Washington, D.C., and given its strong connections to international and national institutions, service organizations, NGOs, and community groups, fellows will partake of an incredibly rich environment and find colleagues strongly interested in their work.
Application: Submit a letter of interest (not to exceed three pages), in English. This letter should outline the proposed work and how it will further the theoretical development of the concept of cultural heritage. Applicants should attach a resume or C.V. and include the proposed dates of the residency. Based on letters of interest, a limited number of applicants will be notified and invited to submit full proposals by February 27, 2004. Full proposals will be due April 1, 2004, for the first year's fellowships.
Term: six weeks to five months, between September and July of each year
