Emerging Social Structures
and New Anthropologies
Closing conference of Marie Curie Doctoral Training School
(1-3 July, 2010)
'Emerging Social Structures and New Anthropologies' marks
the completion of a unique international doctoral programme
in Social Anthropology that has been funded by the European
Commission within the framework of the Marie Curie Training
scheme. Marie Curie SocAnth exists in order to promote the
development of anthropological research and teaching in the
regions of Central and Eastern Europe; however, in line with
the discipline's global reach, the geographical range of our
students’ research is unlimited. Over the last four years,
14 fully funded PhD fellowships have been provided, with an
additional one hundred months of paid visits to one of our
partner institutions supplied to more than twenty other doctoral
students.
The 'Emerging Social Structures and New Anthropologies' closing
conference aims to bring together the work of our students
with the best of other research that is being carried out
in and from the region. The structure of the conference allows
participants to present their materials through various media
and formats: poster presentations and a photo exhibition displaying
visuals from the participants’ fieldwork are complementing
the students’ paper presentations and a round table discussion
featuring a group of highly acclaimed scholars.
'Emerging Social Structures and New Anthropologies' will bring
together faculty and students from all five partner universities,
which have been closely collaborating over the last four years
in order to provide excellent training and greater mobility
to the participants of the program:
University College London
Central European University
Goldsmiths, University of London
Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology
Babes-Bolyai University |
