B) "DISSERTATION DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS" OF THE SSRC EURASIA PROGRAM

In Spring 2004, the SSRC Eurasia Program will hold two Dissertation
Development Workshops. The first workshop will broadly focus on issues
of Governance in Eurasia. The workshop aims to recognize the
interdisciplinary interactions in both a broad conceptualization of
contemporary and historical perspectives within governance (i.e.,
state-society, family, economics, and cultural and social orders) at
local, regional, and trans-international levels of interaction. The
second workshop is a joint project between the SSRC and Princeton
University and will focus on Russia/Eurasia in World Context: A Dialogue
with Middle East Studies. It is the intent of this workshop to pose
questions and discuss issues that cross physical and intellectual
borders, seeking findings and solutions by asking what Russian/Eurasian
studies can learn from Middle Eastern studies. Participants may
challenge interpretive categories such as authoritarianism, empire and
nationalism or transnational issues such as health, economic development
or water/energy resources. Comparative approaches to religious,
cultural, historical and social issues as well as examinations of the
politicization of Eurasian and Middle Eastern scholarship are also
welcome.

Both workshops will bring together approximately 10 doctoral students
and 5 faculty participants for two to three days of intensive and
critical discussion of the students' dissertation projects, as well as
larger theoretical and methodological issues. Graduate students in the
social sciences and related humanities disciplines, at any stage in
their dissertation project, are eligible to apply. Applicants will be
asked to submit a five-page double-spaced statement outlining their
dissertation project, CV, and one letter of recommendation. The
dissertation application deadline is DECEMBER 12, 2003; for application
procedures and other details please check the SSRC Eurasia Program
website: http://ssrc.org/programs/eurasia/.
