UCB Working
Group Grants for Students in European Studies
The Institute
of European Studies (IES) invites undergraduate and graduate
students to form working groups to explore European topics
under IES sponsorship. We envision such groups as forums
for collaboration and exchange across the various European
area studies programs and academic disciplines on campus.
As such, they should provide opportunities for students
to both explore a European issue or event in depth, and acquire
new perspectives from fields outside their major or scholarly
focus.
Examples of possible topics include but are not
limited to: migration, religion, the environment, sports,
the family, multiculturalism, and the EU. While we are
interested in all proposals, we especially appreciate those
which establish comparative
perspectives looking at individual themes as they
manifest themselves in the various countries comprising
Europe, or interdisciplinary
frameworks exploring the representation of European
topics in cultural texts from such diverse fields as
literature, film, psychology, political science, sociology,
art history, mass media, economics, business, history,
and music.
To apply for funding please submit the following to contact below.
- Description of the working group
(1-2 pages): Proposed topic, areas and disciplines
encompassed, a list of activities including a schedule
of meetings and potential texts or cultural works to
be studied, and the name and contact information of the
group’s primary coordinator.
- Budget: IES can provide up to $1750
for working group activities. Funds may be used for diverse
purposes, including guest speakers, film rentals, book
purchases, reader production, and refreshments. In your
application please note the amount your group requires,
and describe how it will be used. The primary coordinator
of the Working Group must be affiliated with at least one
UC Berkeley department, which will serve as the home department
and will administer the funds awarded by the Institute
of European Studies.

Foreign Language and
Area Studies Awards: Academic Year and Summer
The Graduate Fellowship Office has begun accepting
applications for the Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS)
awards for Academic Year 2010-09 and Summer 2011.
FLAS awards enable students who are U.S. citizens and permanent residents to
acquire a high level of competence in one or more foreign languages. Fellowships
are awarded to students in modern foreign language and area studies, with priority
given to students in the humanities, social sciences, and professional fields.
Eligible languages for the IES include Breton, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, Finnish,
French, German, modern Greek, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese,
Spanish, Swedish, Welsh, and Yiddish. Priority is given to advanced study
in the least commonly taught languages to students in the social sciences and
professional schools. Please note that past recipients may reapply.
For academic year awards, entering students must submit the combined Graduate
Application for Admission and Fellowships by the departmental deadline.
Continuing students should apply directly to the Graduate Fellowships Office,
318 Sproul Hall. See the Graduate
Division Web site for complete program details and the online application
form.

IES & CGES (General) Predissertation Fellowships
Spring / Summer / Fall 2010
Fellowships for short-term (two to three months) predissertation research in Europe during Spring / Summer / Fall 2010 for graduate students working on modern European topics and enrolled at any UC campus. Graduate students often find that a first separate visit improves their chances of efficient and successful dissertation research abroad. This permits a network of academic support and contacts to be built up before the major stay. This Predissertation Research Program is designed to provide such opportunities and is not intended to be a supplement or substitute for regular dissertation support. Under normal circumstances, students receiving the grants will be expected to return to their home institution following the grant period for the purpose of defining and/or refining their dissertation project in anticipation of their subsequent dissertation research abroad. The Center is unable to support predissertation projects that are purely literary, philosophical, or theoretical in character. It also cannot support projects in early modern history outside the Central European field or those that deal exclusively with Russian history. Applicants should be in the process of preparing their dissertation proposals, and there should be a gap of at least one semester or two quarters between the completion of their predissertation fellowship and the beginning of their field work abroad. These fellowships of $5000 each are expected to cover two or three months' research in Europe.
