Migrants and States: The Case of the Mediterranean Basin
July 1-13, 2012
The Migration Research Center at Koç University, MiReKoc is organizing its second Summer School Program on July 1-13, 2012. Designed as a summer school for graduate and PhD students as well as junior experts in the field, in the premises of Koç University’s main campus in Sarıyer, Istanbul, the program aims at high-level, research-oriented, interdisciplinary and innovative academic courses on migration as well as workshops on related policy issues for professional development. Lectures and discussions given and led by a distinguished international faculty will also be combined with field trips within Istanbul involving seminars given by policy-makers and implementers.
While applications from all over the world are encouraged, only a few number of applicants admitted on merit will be eligible for full scholarship. This year while five scholarships will be available for candidates from the Central and Eastern Europe (i.e., Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic, Bosnia Herzegovina, and Serbia), other partial scholarships will also be granted based on merit. The summer school will be conducted in English; readings will also be in English. A certificate will be provided upon successful completion of the program.
Course offerings will take into account the various needs of academic and professional development in the field of international migration across a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, demography, economics, political science, sociology, and international relations. The program seeks to bring together groups of interested individuals coming from an enormously varied geographical, cultural and academic background to study intensively. The courses will be taught by a team of well-known academics in the field who will also represent a wide range of countries in an effort to match the diversity of the student body. Such a multi-cultural composition will provide a stimulating environment for engaging participants and faculty in an inspiring and enriching dialogue during the summer school on migration-relation issues.
The 2012 MiReKoc International Summer School is a joint effort of the Koç University, the IMISCOE Network, the Turkish Migration Research Group at Oxford University (TurkMis), and the ERSTE Foundation.
