International Summer Academy 2006, Essen (Germany), July 16 to July 30, 2006
This two-week Summer Academy is convened at the Kulturwissenschaftliches Institut (KWI) (Institute of Advanced Study in the Humanities) and sponsored by the Volkswagen Foundation. The Summer Academy is designed to support the development of scholarly networks and collaborative projects between young scholars in and worldwide. Twenty Fellows (PhD candidates and recent PhDs) in addition to invited senior faculty, will present their research and contribute to the advancement of an emerging field of investigation.
The Academy's teaching body will include internationally leading specialists from Social Theory, Islamic Studies, Sociology of Religion, Comparative Civilisational Analysis and "Multiple Modernities".
Participants will present empirical and theory-oriented projects exploring the processes which are linked to the reformulation of religion in the continual interplay between Islamic and, supposedly, "original" (since "Western") programs of modernity. Projects may target a variety of religious and socio-political arenas worldwide.
Completed applications must be received by March 1, 2006. Submission of applications by e-mail is encouraged.
