ReSET Challenges seminar “Towards a New Cultural History of Eastern and Central Europe. Critical Issues and Reappraisals”

Deadline for applications from Belarus and Moldova to the ReSET Challenges seminar “Towards a New Cultural History of Eastern and Central Europe. Critical Issues and Reappraisals” is extended till 20 May, 2011.

Our project is part of the HESP Regional Seminar for Excellence in Teaching. (For more information on the program see http://www.soros.org/initiatives/hesp/focus/reset/grants/reset_seminar).

The main aim of the project is to discuss new teaching and research agendas in humanities and to introduce approaches that have been developed within the field of cultural history into the university teaching. The project will help to redesign existing courses on cultural/historical anthropology, history of culture, sociology of culture and cultural studies, and to introduce new courses on cultural history in the undergraduate curricula. (For more information on the project see http://www.timeandspace.lviv.ua/index.php?module=events§ion=news&id=431).

Junior university professors/lecturers specializing in the fields of history, cultural studies, sociology and cultural anthropology are especially encouraged to apply. Application form and supporting materials (CV, list of publications, draft of a course syllabus in the field of cultural history and scholarly text related to the topic of the project) shall be sent to the following e-mail addresses: spis2005@yahoo.com; ostap_sereda@yahoo.com.
