****** Research Opportunity ******
The Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies is pleased to announce
the second research workshop in its series on rural Russia, "Rural Russia:
New Directions in Research." The workshop will be organized by Professor
David J. O'Brien of the Rural Sociology Department at the University of
Missouri-Columbia and Blair A. Ruble of the Kennan Institute. It will be
held in the early spring of 1999 in Washington, D.C.
This workshop follows on a pilot workshop that took place in Columbia,
Missouri in the spring of 1998, which focused on the role of social
capital in rural Russian development. The Washington, D.C. workshop will
be broader in scope, and U.S. scholars at any level and from any
discipline with substantive research interests in rural Russian
development may apply. Please note that the Kennan Institute has funds to
support participation in this workshop by American citizens or U.S.
residents. Funding for other citizens is very limited.
Participants in the workshop will be expected to present their current
research pertaining to rural Russia and actively engage in discussion of
themes related to rural development. Junior scholars are especially
encouraged to apply. Per diem costs and some travel support will be
provided by the Kennan Institute.
Those interested should submit an abstract of their current research, a
current resume, and two letters of recommendation to: Rural Russia
Workshop, The Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies, The Woodrow
Wilson Center, One Woodrow Wilson Plaza, 1330 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW,
Washington DC 20523.
Deadline for receipt of applications is November 1, 1998.
Please contact Nancy Popson at 202-691-4100 or at [email protected]
with any further questions.
