[URBANTH-L]WORKSHOP: Summer Institute on International Migration, Ethnic Diversity and Cities

[Angela Jancius]

Dear Colleagues

We are pleased to let you know that the Summer Institute on
International Migration, Ethnic Diversity and Cities 2006 will be held
for the third time this Summer, from June 11th-29th at the International
School for Humanities and Social Sciences, Universiteit van Amsterdam.
The Summer Institute on International Migration, Ethnic Diversity and
Cities is a three-week programme, which seeks to explore the topical
features of international migration and the incorporation of immigrants
in the cities and states of destination. The themes of the seminar will
be approached in an international comparative way, building on
theoretical and empirical contributions of sociologists, political
scientists, anthropologists, geographers, economists, philosophers and
historians. The Institute is open to advanced undergraduate, graduate
and post-graduate students as well as professionals working in a field
related to the topic of the Summer Institute.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. Students from 57 countries are now 
eligible to attend the Summer Institute under the NUFFIC SCHOLARSHIP 
PROGRAM for short courses. Please tell your colleagues and students 
about this. The NUFFIC deadline is February 1, 2006, and before applying 
to NUFFIC, students must apply to the Summer Institute and be accepted. 
We stand ready to expedite these applications during January, so please 
share the news and encourage potential participants to apply quickly. We 
hope this scholarship goes a long way in making the Summer Institute 
more accessible to students from the global south. 

IMISCOE TRAINING GRANT. PhD candidates who are member 
of the IMISCOE Network of Excellence are eligible for an IMISCOE 
Training Grant.
