Following the success of the First Joint PhD Symposium on South East Europe, held at the LSE in June 2010, the organisers invite submissions for the Second Joint PhD Symposium, to be hosted by Centre for the Study of the Balkans at Goldsmiths, University of London. The Second Joint PhD Symposium will be held on 18 June 2012.
The main objective of the symposium is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and ideas between scholars currently undertaking doctoral research on the region. It is also intended to help research students to overcome the academic isolation associated with PhD research, to try their ideas and findings on wider audiences, and to establish new collaborative links across disciplines. Researchers will also be able to engage with a wider academic community, including academic members of staff at the three institutions, and also a number of other distinguished scholars who will be involved with the symposium.
The contributions from doctoral research students focusing on the countries of the former Yugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Moldova, Romania and Turkey and working in the following disciplines are welcome:
- Anthropology and Sociology
- Economics and Political Economy
- Politics and International Relations
- History (including Economic History)
- Law
- Social Policy
- Cultural Studies and Literature
There will also be a registration fee of £15 for all participants, payable upon registration. General participants are welcome to attend.
Deadline: 2 March 2012
