INTERCO-SSH SUMMER SCHOOL 2014

Call for applicants

The INTERCO-SSH European project organizes a Summer School in Fréjus (France) from the 23rd to the 27th of June. Registration is open to PhD students working on SSH (see conditions below)

Training

The Summer School will provide training in methods for studying SSH: historical sociology of SSH, morphology, prosopography, internationalization, including the circulation of scholars, works (through translation), paradigms, theories and methods, and reception processes.

The INTERCO-SSH project will fund transportation inside France and accommodation in Fréjus (lodging and meals). Applicants traveling from abroad should cover the cost of their travel to France.

If they cannot find any funding available for this purpose, applicants may still apply and let us know.

  

Summary of the project

  

The INTERCO-SSH project sets out to assess the state of the Social Sciences & Humanities (SSH) in Europe and to understand the factors that facilitate or hinder international exchanges. It aims to outline potential future pathways that could promote cooperation across disciplinary and national boundaries.

The project uses the tools of the SSH to study the SSH in their socio-historical context, including their relationship with the political and economic powers. It compares the process of institutionalisation of seven academic disciplines in order to identify the sociological factors that have shaped the “academic unconscious” of scholars. Furthermore, it investigates the transfer of knowledge between countries and disciplines, the geographical mobility of scholars and the circulation of ideas.
