Exhibit Explores
North Carolina Immigrant Communities

Cultivating the Great Winter Garden. |
March 5 - May
31, 2009 | North Carolina Collection Library, Wilson Library, UNC-Chapel
Hill
The
exhibit Cultivating the "Great Winter Garden": Immigrant
Colonies in Eastern North Carolina, 1866-1940 explores Van
Eeden, a North Carolina agricultural settlement that became a haven for
Jews
fleeing Nazi Germany.
Through approximately
85 books, pamphlets, maps, and photographs, the exhibit documents various
efforts to attract immigrants to North Carolina from northern
states
and Europe. During and after Reconstruction, the South made a concerted effort
to repopulate, says Stephen Fletcher, the North Carolina Collection photographic
archivist
in Wilson Library. But the prevailing pattern of immigration in the U.S. flowed
north and west.
In order to restore agriculture
as part of the economy, governments and businesses sought to attract people
to the state. On view will be brochures from about
1915 that refer to North Carolina as "the Nation's Garden Spot" and "the
Great Winter Garden," from which the exhibit title is taken.

Research Triangle
Seminar in the History of the Military, War, and Society
Friday,
April 10, 2009 | UNC Institute for the Arts & Humanities,
Hyde Hall
Ninety
years after the end of World War I we have largely forgotten how central international
law was to the contemporaries, both regarding how the war was actually fought
and what peoples and nations thought they were fighting for. This talk is based
on a research project comparing Germany, Britain, and France and their decisions
on how to fight the war. After a brief summary of the peculiarities of international
law, it examines why law was so important during the Great War and then focuses
on Imperial Germany, which the Allies successfully branded as an outlaw. Was
Germany really so distant from the rest of the European world in its understanding
of the laws of war?
Isabel V. Hull is
the John Stambaugh Professor of History at Cornell University. She specializes
in German history from 1700 to 1945, with a focus on socio-politics,
political theory, and gender/sexuality.
- 2:00 - 3:30pm | Reading Seminar (Registration required)
In the reading seminar students and faculty will discuss with Isabel Hull
her book:
Absolute Destruction: Military Culture and the Practices of War in
Imperial Germany (Ithaca, 2005). We recommend that everybody has read
its introduction.
Please contact
Friederike Bruehoefener (fbruehoe@email.unc.edu)
to register by Friday, March 31, 2009.
- 4:00 - 6:00pm | Public Lecture
Isabel Hull will present a lecture entitled Imperial Germany and
International Law in the Great War, 1914 - 1918.

Grant for Research on Transnational Health Practices in an Enlarged
Europe
Dublin
City University | Dublin, Ireland
Given
the increasing salience of East-West migration following the last two
waves of European integration, we are currently developing a new research
programme on "Transnational Health Practices in an Enlarged Europe".
The project will try to assess the transnational dimension of the current
health seeking practices of Eastern European immigrants in Ireland. It
will highlight practices which lead migrants out of the health services
of the host country and into their transnational families, networks,
communities, as well as the health services of their country of origin.
We are looking for a PhD student willing to conduct doctoral research under
the umbrella of our research programme. We are currently developing research
on Romanian migrants in Ireland and are seeking a researcher able to engage
in the study of one of the other Easter European migrant groups relevant to
Ireland (Polish, Estonian, Lithuanian, Latvian, etc.).

Calls
for Proposals and Applications
Call for
Papers: The External Relations of the EU: Historical and Contemporary
Perspectives
September 24-25, 2009 | Monash University, Melbourne, Australia
Given the changing
architecture of global economic and political power,
the role of the EU in the world is increasingly the focus of a vigorous
debate. As a powerful trade negotiator and a leading player in global
issues such as the environment, development aid, social policy and human
rights, the EU is increasingly recognized as a new force for global
security and welfare. Certainly the EU sees itself as a growing
political and strategic presence. But is this perception shared by
non-EU countries and organisations? Exactly how is the EU perceived by
the international community and how have these perceptions developed
since the creation of the European Communities in the 1950s? Has the EU
been perceived to be more of an economic actor or a political force? Is
the EU seen as a regional model that could be emulated? Which countries
are favourable and which hostile to a growing EU influence in their
region or internationally?
For details, please view
the call for papers on the conference
website.
Deadline for abstracts: March 31, 2009 Call for
Applications: European PhD in Socio-Economic and Statistical Studies The European PhD in Socio-Economic
and Statistical Studies invites applications to the Doctoral Programme 2009
commencing on October 1st.
The European PhD in Socio-Economic and Statistical Studies, co-ordinated by
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, is an international, interdisciplinary
graduate programme cooperating with eight partner universities. After the completion
of the programme the doctoral degree Doctor Europaeus is awarded.

North
Carolina German Studies Workshop: Ways of War: Violence and the Culture
of Conflict in Modern Germany
April
17-18, 2009 | Cone Center, UNC Charlotte
Germans
can be found at the heart of nearly every transformative conflict of Western
civilization.
From the
Protestant Reformation to the “total
wars” of the twentieth century, scholars have often located Germans and/or
so-called “German ideologies” at the center of these phenomena.
Indeed for some critics of Germany, the guiding principle of the Sonderweg,
or “special path” continues to exercise a firm teleological hold
on scholarship about Germany. Yet, recent interdisciplinary globalization studies
have demonstrated that European cultures, along with their knowledge bases
and technologies were surprisingly far more interconnected in the past than
has been assumed. Given that today many scholars are finding more similarities
between national cultures than differences, to what extent can a certain phenomenon
continue to be labeled specifically “German”?
The theme of the 2nd annual
NCGS conference, Ways of War: Violence and the Culture of Conflict in Modern
Germany
examines these ideas in an international
and interdisciplinary forum. We invite scholarly presentations which consider
the general phenomenon of competition and conflict in Germany—especially
its theoretical development, practical exercise, and long-term impact on both
Germany and the wider world.
The workshop is open to
all students, teachers, scholars as well as anyone in the general public
interested in learning more about this controversial subject in German history,
however, registration is required. Please visit www.unc.edu/ncgs/workshops.html for
details and registration information.
Deadline: April 1, 2009
The EU and
NATO in the 21st Century: Security Collaborators or Competitors?
April 7, 2009
| University of Pittsburgh
This one-day conference will bring
together academics and practitioners to explore how the EU
and NATO are coping with the evolving defense and security environment in Europe
and
beyond, and its impact on the crucial transatlantic relationship with the U.S.
The conference
will also examine the impact of the following on the EU, NATO and their interrelationship:
the
EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), European Security and
Defense Policy (ESDP),
the European security strategy adopted in 2003, NATO’s “Strategic
Concept” adopted at the
1999 summit, the demands of its numerous partnerships with non-NATO states,
and its efforts
to modernize itself at the 2002 and 2004 summits. Both the EU and NATO face
military challenges today, but more often than not these are in an “out
of area” context
and/or involve asymmetrical conflicts including insurgencies and terrorism.
One or more presentations may also address what form, functions and strategies
European security institutions, and their relationship with the U.S., may need
to adopt in the face of these and future security challenges.

Reducing Health
Inequalities Conference
May 8-9, 2009
| Hertie School of Governance | Berlin, Germany
In highly developed countries, the widening differences in
socioeconomic status which enhance inequalities in health
outcomes are a growing problem. The result is a loss of educational
and economic competences in large parts of the population
which reduces the economic prosperity of the whole country.
Therefore, tackling health inequalities and implementing health
equity strategies are the main objectives of public health policy
in welfare states around the globe.
The conference,
jointly organised by the School of Public Health at the University of Bielefeld
and the Hertie School of Governance,
will focus on the comparative analysis of public
health strategies in different states. The leading questions are:
What do we know about the interaction of welfare regimes
and health outcomes? Do regime types influence the results
of health equity strategies? Do they have consequences for the
overall burden of disease? Which strategy is appropriate in
order to reduce health inequalities? How can the particularly
heavy burden of disease faced by families, children, adolescents,
the elderly, the migrant population, and other vulnerable parts
of the population in low economic and educational status be
reduced? What do we really know about successful strategies? The conference will be
held in English. For more information, please see the preliminary
program (PDF).

Travel Grant: Teaching Excellence and Achievement Program
The Teaching Excellence
and Achievement Program (TEA) is a program of the Bureau of Educational
and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State, and implemented
by IREX, a Washington, DC-based nonprofit organization. TEA will provide
156 secondary school teachers with unique opportunities
to develop expertise in
their subject areas, enhance their teaching skills, and increase their
knowledge about the United
States. The international participants will travel to the United States
in two cohorts of 75-78
teachers each in spring or fall 2010. Their program will include coursework
and intensive training
in teaching methodologies, lesson planning, and teaching strategies for
the participants’ home
environment, as well as the use of computers for Internet, word processing,
and as teaching tools.
The 6-week program will also include a 2-week internship at a secondary
school to actively
engage participants with American teachers and students. Trips to U.S.
cultural sites and
academic support will be provided for participants throughout the program.
In spring and summer 2011 a cohort of 78 U.S. teachers will reciprocate
the visits of the international teachers. Each U.S. teacher will be hosted
by a TEA alumni school in the participating country where they will team-teach,
discuss best teaching practices, curriculum, and
educational issues in the host country. The trip will include visits
to local schools and parent
committees, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and local government
offices.
Also, TEA will provide follow-on grants to the international teachers
to purchase essential
materials for their schools, to offer follow-on training for other teachers,
and to conduct other
activities that will build on their exchange experience.
