This study abroad course aims to familiarize students with Israeli history, society, and identity. Students will learn about the history of the State of Israel through lectures given by your Israeli guide and other experts in the field of Israel studies. Through reading novels, short stories, and selected poetry by multicultural contemporary Israeli writers - including women and Arab Israeli writers - it is intended that students will gain the rhetorical tools and background knowledge needed to interrogate and analyze the literature presented. Also, students will deepen their understanding of the course literature and Israeli society by visiting the setting of stories and meeting with selected Israeli writers. Through the lenses of Israeli cinema and literature, students will examine Israeli identity and questions such as, how do Israelis view themselves?, how does the world media, especially American media, assess Israel?, and, how do you, as a student in the course, see Israel after observing and experiencing its diverse culture and literature? Additionally, the course will examine Israeli identity as constructed through being in a continuous state of war, being an immigrant, a soldier, a Palestinian, a religious Jew, a Holocaust survivor, a woman, a Kibbutz member and more. Students must register and pay tuition for the summer 2014 credits listed above in order to participate in this program. ▲

In recent years Europe has become the destination of choice for many people looking for better jobs and opportunities. Especially Europe’s North serves as a magnet for people from the economically weaker southern parts of the European Union with thousands of qualified Greeks, Spaniards and Portuguese seeking a better life outside their own countries. But from elsewhere, too the economic pull of Europe, with its generous social welfare systems, attracts many. For the most part, this migration encounters a mixed reception. On the one hand, Europe is aging fast, its demographic development is dismal and new qualified labor is critical to sustain Europe’s growth and place in the global market. On the other hand, the diversity that comes with migration has created deep fissures in European societies. Governments struggle to develop integration policies that reduce social tensions between migrants and local populations; industry demands for human talent clash with traditional national identities; and fears of economic exploitation and cultural displacement lead to hostilities. This Study Abroad program takes you to Berlin and Brussels. Berlin is Europe’s new melting-pot with the highest rate of migrants and the most challenging social environment. We will meet with industry, political, labor, and social leaders to learn about the challenges of attracting foreign talent and avoiding social tension. In Brussels, we will meet with leaders in the European Parliament and the European Commission to learn about European-level initiatives to foster the influx of new human resources and the national preferences states bring to bear. ▲Students must register and pay for summer term 2014 credit in order to participate in this program.

Study Abroad Scholarship

The Global Studies Grant for Student Travel and Study Abroad Designed to support foreign language training and other academic studies abroad, this grant provides supplemental funds for American students who already are studying abroad under the auspices of an official study abroad program conducted by an accredited academic institution. As with our faculty grants, GSF seeks to support a formative experience abroad for the recipient, who also must share this experience with others upon his or her return â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ideally, with multiple audiences and varied media. We are particularly interested in funding the study of strategically important countries and languages (as defined by the US Departments of State and Defense). Applicants must be US citizens and currently enrolled full-time and in good academic standing in an accredited secondary or postsecondary institution. Among the most significant selection criteria are academic performance (as indicated in courses, grades, recommendations, and other achievements), program merit, and outreach potential. Grant recipients will be expected to acknowledge GSFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support, to report on their experiences, and to work with GSF to share those experiences as widely as possible.

Some receive college credit; others are motivated by the experience they gain. In addition to satisfying the needs of JFSC and the interns, this program is also a key element in our outreach to the local community. Many interns have served as research assistants in support of the core curriculum, focus studies (electives), and our War gaming model. Others have worked in technical areas, where their current skills have proven invaluable in duties such as programming, PC troubleshooting, and database administration. The ultimate benefits of a JFSC internship program are many: assistance to faculty and staff in a variety of areas, some combination of credit and experience for the students, and significant outreach to local colleges and universities.

FLACSO-ISA - Global and Regional Powers in a Changing World

Buenos Aires, Argentina -- JULY 23-25, 2014

Paper and/or panel proposals are due by Tuesday, October 1st, 2013

Website: http://www.isanet.org/Conferences/FLACSOBuenosAires2014.aspx. The increasing gravitation of emerging economies is changing the landscape of international politics. This has implications for the possibilities of a new global order where emerging powers have begun to engage in the construction of new norms, governance institutions, development agendas and citizenship practices. Likewise, the context of regionalism and regionalization processes is also being transformed with the global projection of emerging powers. China, India, Brazil, Russia and South Africa are increasingly acquiring pivotal roles in the articulation of regional and global dynamics. At the same time, traditional powers became more focused on pressing domestic and regional challenges due to the financial and economic crisis that started in 2008. These changes and reconfigurations constitute a new terrain of innovation, collaboration and dispute of an increasingly wider scope of policies, economic interests, identities and sources of legitimization of the international order. Graduate Student Workshops: As a highlight to the program, we will be sponsoring graduate student workshops to allow graduate students and post-docs to present their research in a small-group panel setting with detailed feedback from senior scholars, and to allow for greater professional development and networking opportunities.

With this, the Application: international appaNovember 15, 2013 ratus responsible for the protection of displaced people is under extreme pressure to meet ever-changing protection needs. Efforts to do so are inhibited by a general lack of international solidarity toward protection, while many legal and operational frameworks employed were created over a half-century ago. The causes and patterns of forced displacement have changed, with much neither involving a ‘well-founded fear of persecution’ or the crossing of an international border. The past twenty years have seen the increased recognition of internal displacement, statelessness and the migratory implications of natural disasters, climate change and urbanisation. This panel thus asks if the mechanisms for addressing forced displacement are still fit for purpose, or if continued protracted displacement crises signal a failure of global governance. Further how the varieties of actors involved in provision of protection are adapting to changing dynamics in forced displacement. Please send paper titles, abstracts (200 words max), contact details and affiliation to the panel organisers, Neil James Wilson (neil. james.wilson[at]city.ac.uk) and Danielle J. Grigsby (grigsbyd[at]vt.edu) by 15 November 2013. Authors of selected abstracts will then be notified preceding abstract submission to BISA for consideration.
