Holocaust Studies. United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
The United States Holocaust Memorial
Museum’s Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies invites applications for a
workshop, New Research on Roma and the Holocaust, scheduled for September
15-18, 2014. The program will consist of three days of consultation and
discussion of participants’ research, followed by a day-long public symposium.
This workshop will bring together scholars working on Roma and the Holocaust
across Europe, as well as histories of pre-war persecution and the effects of
the Holocaust on Romani communities in its aftermath, in order to foster
scholarly cooperation on emerging research on these themes. The workshop will
also introduce participants to the Museum’s extensive archival and other
collections. The Museum welcomes applications from doctoral candidates,
postdoctoral scholars, and early career academics who are conducting research
on Roma in the Holocaust. Proposals for new, original, and previously
unpublished papers are welcome from scholars in all relevant academic
disciplines. Researchers from post-Soviet states are particularly encouraged to
apply. Successful applicants will be required to submit a copy of their
presentation in English in advance of the workshop for circulation among
commentators, other panelists, and participants. The workshop will be conducted
in English.
A maximum of 14 scholars will be selected.
Applications must be submitted in English and include: (1) a current CV; (2) a
statement addressing the candidate’s specific interest and background
(including previous coursework, projects, publications, or language study) in
the program’s area of study as well as how the workshop will benefit the
candidate’s research; and (3) an abstract not to exceed 500 words of a paper to
present at the workshop and public symposium. Applications should be sent to
Krista Hegburg, Ph.D., Program Officer, Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies,
U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, at khegburg@ushmm.org.
The
deadline for receipt of proposals is April 25, 2014.
The symposium organizers will provide
lodging for the duration of the conference and a stipend to help defray
transportation costs. Participants are required to attend the full duration of
the program.
