The Berlin-based Forum Transregionale Studien invites scholars to apply for up to 3 visiting fellowships for 3-months in Berlin in the period from 1st October to 31st 2020 within the framework of the research program „PRISMA UKRAINA – Research Network Eastern Europe“.
Ukraine is a “Gate of Europe” located at the crossroads of languages, religions and political cultures. In this program Ukraine serves as a prism through which new perspectives on current questions become possible. In the coming academic year the following research issues are of particular interest to us:
(1) genealogy and change of political ideas and identities,
(2) mobility and immobility, diversity and inequality.
FELLOWSHIP
The fellowship is open to postdoc scholars from all fields of social sciences and humanities, as well as to authors, journalists and civil society activists who want to carry out their research projects in connection with the PRISMA UKRAÏNA program.
