[1] Trans-Atlantic Summer Institute for Advanced Graduate Students
“Emotions in Late Modern Societies: Persons, Politics, and Social
Practices” - Center for German and European Studies - University of
Minnesota and European University Viadrina - Deadline: May 15, 2015
The University of Minnesota Center for German and European Studies in
collaboration with European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder) Germany
is pleased to announce the 2015 Trans-Atlantic Summer Institute for
advanced graduate students.
“Emotions in Late Modern Societies: Persons, Politics, and Social Practices”
The social sciences depart from the assumption that human action emanates
from rational beings who activate material resources and use available role
models in order to reach their goals. In such a perspective, people appear
as individuals who act in accordance with their potential in a
goal-oriented society – the core of modern or late modern narratives.
Beneath these assumptions have often been a whole range of value judgments,
such as claims about rationality being male, strong, and public while
emotions are female, weak, and private. The humanities, in contrast, have
traditionally paid more attention to expressive works that are understood
to explore evolving worlds of feeling and flows of experience.
TASI 2015 invites graduate students from the US and Europe to convene for
two weeks of examination of the subject of emotions in social behavior and
practice. We are interested most of all in assembling a group of emerging
scholars who bring interdisciplinary commitments and concerns to their
work, and who are interested in sharing their work with their peers
internationally.
Where: the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt/Oder, Germany
When: July 20 - August 1, 2015.
The Center for German & European Studies will provide North American
graduate students with a $750 stipend towards their travel expenses.
Room and board at the European University Viadrina are free of charge.
Application Deadline: May 15, 2015.

[3] Resident Lecturer - School for Field Studies Program on Biodiversity
Conservation and Development, Peru - Deadline: Ongoing
The School for Field Studies program on Biodiversity Conservation and
Development, located in the Andean-Amazon region of Peru seeks an
enthusiastic, team-oriented individual to serve as part of a residential
team of faculty and staff that delivers an interdisciplinary, hands-on
learning experience to students spending a semester abroad. SFS Peru has a
thematic focus on the complexity of this Andes-Amazon region with its
dramatic elevational gradient and diverse cultural elements.
On a contract basis, teach the Political Ecology of Development Landscapes:
Peru course during the fall and spring semesters and teach one-third of the
Directed Research course. Contribute to student learning in the areas of
conservation planning, natural resource use, and rural development. Lead
designated components of the programs research plan and, as part of this,
oversee, mentor, and grade the student directed research projects.
Institutional Mission:
SFS creates transformative study abroad experiences through field-based
learning and research. Our educational programs explore the human and
ecological dimensions of the complex environmental problems faced by our
local partners, contributing to sustainable solutions in the places where
we live and work. The SFS community is part of a growing network of
individuals and institutions committed to environmental stewardship.
Program Focus:
This program seeks to understand both the conflicts and synergies of
conservation and development. Students will gain a sense of the richness of
the Andes-Amazon region-biodiversity, social and cultural diversity, and
ecosystem services-while exploring strategies for sustainable livelihoods
in this highly productive and diverse region of South America.
The interdisciplinary themes of socio-ecological resilience, environmental
justice, and conservation will guide our inquiry. Through coursework, field
exercises, and Directed Research, students will study people's dependence
on the environment, examine the threats to the environment and to social
networks, and explore the tools and strategies for mitigating the threats
and promoting well-being among rural communities. A strong component of the
program will be examining the ecological patterns and processes that
underpin the high diversity of the region.
Course Description: Political Ecology of Developing Landscapes: Peru
In this course we focus on human interactions with and impacts on local
natural systems, and vice versa. The course considers these interactions
through the interdisciplinary lens of political ecology, examining the
political, economic and social factors of environmental issues and changes.
The course provides a conceptual framework for understanding how
nature-society interactions, such as agriculture, resource extraction,
tourism, and rural development shape both the natural landscape and the
social and economic conditions in rural areas. Because resource extraction,
rural development, and conservation are simultaneously social, cultural,
economic, and ecological phenomena, holistic critical thinking is essential
to understand these systems to enable us to propose solutions that make
sense. The course provides the conceptual and practical skills and tools to
critically examine and assess the human-environment nexus in the field. We
also consider the theories and ethics of sustainable and unsustainable
development and the need to view these issues in ways that are inclusive
and just. We will use the lens of political ecology to frame lines of
inquiry and define research questions.
Course Description: Directed Research
The aim of this course is to provide students with the opportunity to apply
ecological, biological, and/or social-scientific methods to a field
research project that addresses a local issue related to the environment.
We will also investigate the ways that various methods and theories
distinguish (or don't) fact from interpretation, cause from correlation,
and advocacy from objectivity. The directed research topics are derived
from the SFS Center's Five Year Research Plan as defined by the Center
staff and local stakeholders. Through the Directed Research project,
students will contribute to a growing body of scientific research that
informs local conservation and resource management decisions. SFS program
lecturers lead a small group of students in this research component of the
program.
Applicants are encouraged to review proposed course syllabi and programs
descriptions on the SFS website: <http://www.fieldstudies.org/peru>
