Study for Researchers: Mobility of Researchers in Europe

The Center for European Studies would like to encourage any researchers with US-EU connections to participate in a study launched by the European Commission. The study aims to improve knowledge of mobility patterns and career paths of researchers. A consortium led by IDEA Consult is carrying out an 18-month study which began in December 2008 and is known as the MORE (MObility of Researchers in Europe) study. The aim of this survey is to build indicators on the mobility of researchers and to analyse the factors that inhibit or support their international mobility focusing on the following groups:

• Researchers who have been educated in an EU country and have subsequently moved to work as a researcher in the US;
• Researchers who have been educated in the US and have subsequently moved to work in an EU country as a researcher;
• Researchers who have been internationally mobile between any other parts of the world.

Researchers are invited to fill-in a web-based questionnaire at http://checkmarket.be/internationalmobility. All completed surveys shall remain strictly private and confidential and shall only be used for the purposes of this study. The questionnaire remains open until February 15, 2010.

North Carolina German Studies Seminar

Sunday, February 21, 2010 | 6:00 - 8:00pm | Institute for the Arts & Humanities | Hyde Hall | UNC-Chapel Hill
As part of the North Carolina German Studies Seminar & Workshop Series, Philipp Stelzel (UNC-CH Department of History) will present a seminar on The Bielefelder Schule: A Case of Americanization of German Historiography?

The decades following World War II witnessed increasing intellectual exchange and cooperation between West German and American historians of Germany. This paper focuses
on the emergence of the so-called Bielefelder Schule in the late 1960s which, according to common wisdom, was established as the most “Americanized” of all groups of West German historians. Prominent members of the Bielefelder Schule, most notably Hans-Ulrich Wehler and Jürgen Kocka, have repeatedly stressed the important role that American historians of Germany played in the modernization and pluralization of the German historical profession. However, a comparison of the works of the Bielefelders and their American contemporaries reveals striking interpretive and methodological differences. Most importantly, American historians hesitated to follow the Bielefelders on their notorious Sonderweg. Ultimately, American historians were more influential for the modification than for the construction of the Bielefelder Schule.

Philipp Stelzel is a graduate student in the History Department at the University of North Carolina. His dissertation, currently in progress, “Rethinking Modern German History after 1945: a Transatlantic Enterprise?”, analyzes the German-American community of historians from the 1940s to the 1970s. His publications include articles in Central European History and in Storia della Storiografia.

Introduction and moderation by Dirk Bönker (Duke University, Department of History). The seminar starts at 6:30 pm. Refreshments will be served before the seminar. Please register with Philipp Stelzel (stelzel@email.unc.edu) in a timely fashion.

For more information, please visit www.unc.edu/ncgs/seminars.html. Cosponsored by the Center for European Studies.

Workshop Series: Gender, Politics, and Culture in Europe and Beyond

• Duke-UNC Graduate Reading Seminar: Gendering Historiographies of Nation and Empire
  • Friday, March 26, 2010 | 10:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M. | UNC Institute for the Arts and Humanities, Hyde Hall
    The Graduate Reading Seminar will focus on the writing of national and imperial history and the ways in which it is gendered. Students will have to read two texts in advance, which they will discuss with Catherine Hall in the reading seminar. Participants will get the two chapters after their registration by email. To register, please send an email to: Sarah Summers ses278@email.unc.edu
    
• Workshop: Gender and Empire - Comparative Perspectives
  • Friday and Saturday, March 26-27, 2010 | UNC Institute for the Arts and Humanities, Hyde Hall
    In the workshop we will explore the complex connections between gender and empire in a comparative perspective. We will contrast British colonial rule in North America, the Caribbean and India; French rule in the Caribbean and Africa; Habsburg rule in Central-Eastern Europe; the Spanish Empire and its rule in Latin America; and the rule of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East during the long nineteenth century. In our comparison we want to study the specific characteristics of the different empires and the function of the gender order for their rule in the colonies. We will discuss the deployment of femininities and masculinities that justified imperial rule and attempted to establish clear lines of demarcation between ruler and ruled. We will analyze the ambiguities and contradictions of colonial relationships across genders and look at colonial policies that regulated these gender relations and how they transformed over time. Finally, we will analyze the ways in which processes of decolonization and nation-building were influenced by the gendered legacies of imperialism. Registration is required; to register, please send an email to: Sarah Summers ses278@email.unc.edu

For more information, please visit http://www.unc.edu/gpc/ and see the publicity flyer (PDF): http://www.unc.edu/gpc/10mar/gender&empire.pdf. Cosponsored by the Center for European Studies.

Registration Deadline for both events: March 15, 2010

Lectures and Events

UN Peacekeeping: Its History and Effectiveness

5:30 - 8:30 pm | Thursday, February 11, 2010 | FedEx Global Education Center | UNC-Chapel Hill
United Nations peacekeeping is a unique and dynamic instrument developed as a way to help countries torn by conflict to create the conditions for lasting peace. The first UN peacekeeping mission was established in 1948, when the Security Council authorized the deployment of UN military observers to the Middle East to monitor the Armistice Agreement between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Since then, there have been a total of 63 UN peacekeeping operations around the world.

With the end of the Cold War, the strategic context for UN peacekeeping dramatically changed as did the nature of the conflicts, prompting the UN to shift and expand its field operations from "traditional" missions involving strictly military tasks, to complex "multidimensional" enterprises designed to ensure the implementation of comprehensive peace agreements and assist in laying the foundations for sustainable peace. Today's peacekeepers undertake a wide variety of complex tasks, from helping to build sustainable institutions of governance, to human rights monitoring, to security sector reform, to the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of former combatants.

This workshop explores the past and present of UN peacekeeping and its effectiveness, because UN peacekeeping will continue to evolve and will meet new challenges and political realities.

Sponsored by West Triangle Chapter, United Nations Association, The Center for Global Initiatives, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, The Curriculum in Peace, War and Defense, UNC Chapel Hill, and The Triangle Institute for Security Studies. For details, please view the workshop flyer (PDF): http://history.unc.edu/newsevents/Peacekeeping%20Flyer.pdf

Growing up in Turkey during the Nazi Rule in Europe

Sunday, February 14, 2010 | 2:00 - 4:00pm | Carolina Türk Evi (Turkish House) | 743 E. Franklin St. | Chapel Hill, NC
In the 1930’s, Germany began persecuting its Jewish and anti-Nazi professors, architects, musicians, scientists, and physicians. Under the leadership of Turkey's president, Kemal Ataturk, Turkey actively recruited these men and women to serve as agents for modernizing the new Republic.

Eugen Merzbacher, son of one of these scientists, shares his experiences growing up in Turkey prior to and during World War II. Eugen Merzbacher is Kenan Professor Emeritus, Department of Physics and Astronomy, at UNC-Chapel Hill. Sponsored by the Aziz and Gwen Sancar Foundation.
