The Center for Advanced Studies of South East Europe, the University of Rijeka and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of Rijeka are organizing a summer school on equality and citizenship from June 6th to June 10th, 2016, in Rijeka (Croatia). The summer school does not reproduce, in a diluted form, the familiar teaching format of a university course. Instead, it is organized around “Author-Meets-Critics” symposia dedicated to some distinguished authors’ publications and work-in-progress. All of the leading participants will give a paper on a topic on which they are working at the moment, and will reply to the papers given by scholars who participate in the symposia dedicated to them, and will be available for informal discussion.

Fabienne Peter (University of Warwick)

Steven Wall (The University of Arizona)

The summer school will include a panel organized by former participants as well. Former participants are also invited to propose papers dedicated to the leading participants. The summer school is primarily directed at post-doc and doctoral participants. Post-doc and doctoral participants can contribute to the discussion by commenting and asking questions, as well as with up to 10 minute discussions in the panels. Post-doc and doctoral participants will receive a certificate of participation that describes the activities in which they have participated at the summer school.
The detailed program of the summer school will be available on May 10th.
