hi there, diverting from the topic of the month to e-talk to those with academic affiliations or aspirations on the list...
-illie ------------------------------------------------------------------- Teaching Fellowships in East Europe/Former Soviet Union for 2002-03 The Civic Education Project (CEP) is now accepting 2002-03 applications for its Visiting Faculty Fellowship Program and Local Faculty Fellowship Program. CEP awards teaching fellowships to faculty, Ph.D.s and advanced postgraduate students in the social sciences, law and journalism/media studies. CEP Fellows teach at CEP partner universities located throughout Central and Eastern Europe, the Former Soviet Union, and Mongolia. Celebrating its 10th anniversary year in 2001, CEP is an international volunteer organisation dedicated to facilitating reform at universities and institutions of higher learning in post-communist societies. CEP works through its two fellowship programs, the Visiting Faculty Fellowship Program, and the Local Faculty Fellowship Program. CEP Fellows participating in both programs serve as lecturers at universities throughout the region. CEP Visiting Faculty Fellows are academics from outside of the region who teach and mentor for one academic year (two semesters) at a college in a CEP program country. Visiting Faculty Fellows receive a stipend, round-trip air travel, accommodation, health insurance, language lessons, and book allowances. CEP Local Faculty Fellows are academics from the region who have graduated from a North American or West European university with a postgraduate degree. CEP supports their efforts to stay in academia in their home country by providing a monthly stipend, teaching materials, and participation in various CEP events and activities. Both Visiting and Local Fellows become part of an academic network covering all CEP program countries, from Slovakia to Mongolia. CEP Fellows also work on a variety of outreach projects outside the classroom. CEP has programs in 23 countries and supports approximately 200 Fellows in a variety of disciplines, including international relations, sociology, political science, law, history, economics, public administration, environmental policy, and journalism/media studies.
