General Information for European and Mediterranean Studies
STUDY ABROAD
Candidates for the M.A. degree in European studies are encouraged to spend their summer session abroad.
RESEARCH WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS
Research Workshops: These ongoing study groups are made up of faculty and graduate students from New York University and other area institutions and aim to help refine and design research projects, both individual and collective.
Currently the organized workshops are as follows: Modern European History; Eurasian Connections; Gender and Transformation: Women in Europe; Mediterranean Studies; and Language Acquisition Assessment.
Faculty Colloquia: A series of public lectures, the Center for European and Mediterranean Studies Lecture Series, is organized by the Center primarily to bring specialists from Europe and from other American universities to the NYU community. Speakers from the United States and Europe focus on such issues as immigration, class relations, the political construction of Europe, nationalism, and the relationship between politics and culture.
Conferences: The Center organizes national or regional conferences on European subjects, open to faculty and graduate students. Conferences held in 2007-2009 included “The Radical Right in Post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe,” “The New Mediterranean,” and “The Boundaries of Europe. Religious Identities, State-Church-Party Relations, and the European Project.”
SPECIAL FACILITIES
The Center’s offices include a seminar room and a modest document and periodical collection dealing with contemporary Western and Eastern Europe. The latter includes journals, weeklies, and newsletters from European centers and institutions. The NYU Law Library is a depository of official documents of the European Community, and the Elmer Holmes Bobst Library has a wide selection of European newspapers and periodicals in addition to strong book collections on all aspects of contemporary Europe. The Center assists Bobst Library in developing its European holdings.
DEPARTMENTAL FELLOWSHIPS, PRIZES, AND AWARDS
The Center offers an annual competition for three federally funded academic-year Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships for students who will study a West European language as an integral part of an academic program. It offers a small number of graduate fellowships that provide CEMS students tuition and stipends. Four FLAS summer language training fellowships are also available. The Center also has limited funds to subsidize graduate student domestic travel to Europeanist scholarly meetings, for which application can be made throughout the academic year.
A comprehensive list of University, Graduate School, and departmental fellowships, prizes, and awards appears in the Financing Graduate Education section of the GSAS Application for Admission and Financial Aid. This information is also available on the GSAS Web site at http://gsas.nyu.edu/page/grad.financialaid.
