Trans-Atlantic Summer Institute

The DAAD Center for German & European Studies at the University of Minnesota
invites applications to the 11th Trans-Atlantic Summer Institute in European
Studies (TASI). The Institute will bring together 12 German or other
European, and 12 North American advanced graduate students for an intensive
two-week seminar on the campus of the University of Minnesota. The 2011
topic is "Violence Across the Mediterranean to Northern Europe: Theory and Practice." The 2011 multi-disciplinary faculty leaders are Patricia Lorcin
(History; University of Minnesota) and Aberrahmane Moussaoui (Anthropology;
University of Provence, France). They will be joined by guest speaker Ruth
Mandel (Anthropology; University College London, UK). The Institute offers a
diverse mix of seminar discussions of key readings, research presentations
by guest faculty and fellows, and informal discussions of fellows' research
projects. The international faculty team encourages applications from young
scholars in the social sciences and humanities who are eager to situate
their own projects at the intersection of the four main strands in the
scholarly literature on violence. All selected students will receive
fellowships. A reading knowledge of French is required. We are particularly
interested in candidates from North American, France and Germany.
