School for all seasons: Spaces and Times of Globalization 2015
The illusions of democracy, contested visions and political dynamics
18-22 May 2015 – SOAS University of London
While it may still be claimed that democracy is the best political system yet devised, its contradictions and crises are all too apparent. This ‘school for all seasons’ – jointly organized by the University of Padova, SOAS and Goldsmith University – aims to interrogate some of the illusions of democracy with the participation of an international set of scholars and PhD students.
SIX GRANTS (500 EURO EACH) ARE AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS (MASTER COURSES AND PHD LEVEL) FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF PADOVA. INTERESTED STUDENTS MAY CONTACT: PROF. CLAUDIA PADOVANI (CLAUDIA.PADOVANI@UNIPD.IT) AND PROF. FRANCESCA HELM (FRANCESCA.HELM@UNIPD.IT) BEFORE MARCH 15. DOCUMENTS TO BE SENT: AN SHORT UPDATED CV, A SHORT NOTE (MAX 500 WORDS) CONCERNING CURRENT RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AND A LETTER FROM YOUR SUPERVISOR IF WORKING ON A MASTER OR PHD THESIS. FINAL SELECTION WILL BE MADE BY MARCH 30.
