Pre and Postdoctoral Fellowships

Description

The Academy Scholars Program identifies and supports outstanding scholars at the start of their careers whose work combines disciplinary excellence in the social sciences (including history and law) with a command of the language, history, or culture of non-Western countries or regions. Their scholarship may elucidate domestic, comparative, or transnational issues, past or present.

The Academy Scholars are a select community of individuals with resourcefulness, initiative, curiosity, and originality, whose work in non-Western cultures or regions shows promise as a foundation for exceptional careers in major universities or international institutions.

Academy Scholars are appointed for two years by the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies and are provided time, guidance, and access to Harvard University facilities. They receive substantial financial and research assistance to undertake sustained projects of research and/or acquire accessory training in their chosen fields and areas. The Senior Scholars, a distinguished group of senior Harvard University faculty members, act as mentors to the Academy Scholars to help them achieve their intellectual potential.

With the assistance of young Mexican woman, Anay Palomeque de Carrillo, Dr. Elaine Hampton, a retired Associate Professor of Education at the University of Texas at El Paso, provides an in-depth exploration of education in an era of dramatic social and economic upheaval in rural and urban Mexico in the city of Juarez.

This critical ethnographic case study presents Anay’s experiences in a series of narrative essays addressing the economic, social, and political context of her world. This young Mexican woman leads us through Ciudad Juárez in its most violent years, into women’s experiences in the factories, around family and religious commitments as well as personal illness, and on to her achievement of an education through perseverance and creativity.

ELAINE HAMPTON is a retired Associate Professor of Education at the University of Texas at El Paso. She was an award-winning teacher in communities near the Mexican border and is a researcher in the fields of Mexican and Mexican-American education.

CALL FOR PAPERS DISAPPEARANCE: Spatial and Temporal Horizons a two-day interdisciplinary conference, CUNY, November 7th & 8th, 2013

DISAPPEARANCE: Spatial and Temporal Horizons

a two-day interdisciplinary conference

November 7th & 8th, 2013

The Department of Comparative Literature

The Graduate Center, CUNY

New York, New York



The Graduate Students in The Department of Comparative Literature at The Graduate Center, CUNY invite you to a conference investigating the question of disappearance through various disciplines.  Disappearance is first used as a noun in English in a 1712 edition of the Spectator.  Founder Joseph Addison writes that if we “look into the Bulk of our Species, they are such as are not likely to be remembered a Moment after their Disappearance.  They leave behind them no Traces of Their Existence, but are forgotten as tho’ they had never been” (No. 317).

If disappearance is broadly considered as a transition from being there to no longer being there, then what is it that happens in the instance of vanishing? What disappears? What causes disappearance?  How does disappearance function?  How are questions of memory, existence and trace exacerbated when the term is directly applied in a political context, as it has commonly been used since the 1950s.  In what ways do academic disciplines perpetuate and protect against disappearances?  If the moment of disappearance is a horizon, how can we mobilize our understanding of space and time to open new perspectives within the question of disappearance?

We welcome examples and explorations from a variety of disciplines and intersections including: literature, languages, film, philosophy, political science, linguistics, psychology, education, human rights, theory, cultural studies, American studies, women’s studies, queer studies, journalism, medieval studies, art, art history, digital media studies, theater, music, sociology, history, science, Judaic studies, Latin American studies, fine arts and cognitive science.

Possible conference papers might take up the inquiries below, but additional investigations are welcome.  We invite papers exploring and theorizing:

what disappears in a disappearance
what marks the moment of disappearance
what gets revealed in a disappearance
what’s left behind in a disappearance
where the disappeared goes
who/what names something as a disappearance
how literature deals with disappearance
power and disappearance
ghosts and disappearance
death and disappearance
disappearance and erasure
distortion and disappearance
disappearance and deception
disappearance and identity
disappearance and the body
transformation and disappearance
disappearance and/in Magical Realism, Romanticism, post-modernity, etc
disappearance and translation
disappearance and history, oral traditions and artifacts
disappearance and religion
the space of disappearance
the temporal capacity of disappearance
the mobility of disappearance
disappearance in the contemporary world
disappearance and globalization
privacy, security and disappearance
We welcome submissions of individual papers and proposals for panels of 3-4 papers in English.  Please submit a 250-300 word abstract for a 15-20 minute paper by September 15th, 2013 to disappearanceconference2013@gmail.com.  Proposals should include the title of the paper, presenter’s name, institutional and departmental affiliation, and any technology requests. 

PBS LATINO AMERICANS & YOUR CAMPUS

 

 

Dear LEAD Organization Project members and affiliates,

We want to make sure your group, organization and/or campus knows about all the ways you can be involved in the PBS bilingual initiative and project entitled LATINO AMERICANS.  

LATINO AMERICANS is a 3-part, 6-hour documentary - the first major documentary series for television to chronicle the rich and varied history and experiences of Latinos, who have for the past 500-plus years helped shape what is today the United States.  Led by Emmy Award-winning series producer Adriana Bosch and narrated by Benjamin Bratt, the LATINO AMERICANS series documents the evolution of a new “Latino American” identity from the 1500s to the present day, featuring interviews with close to 100 Latinos from the worlds of politics, business and pop culture.

 

You can watch a preview here: LATINO AMERICANS trailer.

 

The film is scheduled to air on PBS over three Tuesdays beginning September 17, as well as on Vme, the Spanish-language channel on public television, and it will be a major opportunity to have a national discussion on the increasingly-important role that Latinos have played, and continue to play, in shaping America’s culture, history, economy and politics.

 

The documentary series was featured at an afternoon plenary at the 2013 LEAD Summit - “Beyond the Broadcast of PBS' LATINO AMERICANS: a Public Engagement and Education Campaign”.  Click below to view.

The bilingual project also includes a companion book by Ray Suarez, Senior Correspondent for PBS NEWSHOUR, a nationwide public engagement initiative, and digital engagement and public education campaigns.  

Please find attached a general overview onesheet for the project, as well as the latest press release about the broadcast.  Neyda Martinez, CC'd here, is the project's National Engagement Consultant, and will be your point for if your organization would like to feature the series on your campus.  The project can provide you a highlight reel DVD for your event, which is an overview of the whole Latino Americans series, as well as general discussion points.  The project can also provide a complimentary one-on-one coaching session on how to use the content in learning settings or with community groups -- please contact LatinosPBS@gmail.com for that opportunity.  (Please note that the project is not able to bring filmmakers or any of the featured subjects to your screening event.)

Below is the link to the series website on pbs.org, as well as some other quick pieces for the series -- including links to embeddable video.  The project's Interactive Engagement team is distributing now a regular weekly series of suggested social media posts (with shareable history facts, quotes, video content and images) in both English and Spanish - if you would like to be on the distribution list for that, please let us know.

Thank you for your time -- and I hope you will join us in this tremendous opportunity to share this important American history in a way that's never been done before.
