This sub-course is aimed at doctoral students who seek an academic research career and will be largely run in the format of a doctoral school focused on exploring the students’ work with the help and advice of senior staff. It is based on around 20 presentations by doctoral students, discussed both by allocated peer reviewers and by the assembled senior scholars in the traditional form of a thesis writing seminar.
In addition to this core work, we will invite leading researchers from Anthropology, Musicology, Linguistics, and History to also give one lecture on their current research. Trainers invited and their topics include:
Paloma Gay y Blasco (with Liria de la Cruz a Gitano activist) - Breaking through the Gitano Law – personhood, closure, and the potential of moral ambiguity.
Jan Grill– Romany migration within the EU focuses particularly on the way the experience of migration among Slovak Roma in Glasgow has impacted identity strategies in this community. Experiences of migration, enabled through the re-organized political space of Europe, shape Roma migrants’ sense of belonging and their ways of identification.
Michael Stewart – Populism and anti-Romany politics - Racism, neo-fascism, or a new form of populism? The rise of cultural xenophobia and redemptive anti-Romany politics.
Yaron Matras– Linguistics, Identity, Ethnicity and Migration- Linguistic and anthropological perspectives on the notion of 'Gypsy'.
Shared Elements between the four sub-courses:
- The course will hold an electronic seminar prior to the summer school to introduce members of staff and to kick start preparatory work among the selected students.
- We will offer a special event – Romany Studies, Francophone Approaches with simultaneous translation from French to English thus enabling leading figures in the field (Jean-Luc Poueyto and Patrick Williams), who have never been able to participate in these schools before to present their work:
- A unique feature of the summer school will be a two-day field trip (June 12-14) and assessment exercise to two Romany communities near Miskolc in Hungary. This will provide students not only with a ‘hands-on’ experience in ‘rapid survey work’ but also the opportunity to reflect on the use of such methods in teaching and a key ‘network building’ event.
Participants will receive full funding (travel, accommodation, and living costs) covered by the Council of Europe and the European Commission.
