TWO Fellowship Opportunities at the Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy (University of Pennsylvania)

by Matteson, Jessica M.

FYI! Hello: Can you distribute this announcement to your grad students and recent graduates (and, if possible, to faculty who might know students to recommend)? Thank you for your help, and have a great end-of-semester. Matt Roth Two Fellowship Opportunities in 2018-2019 at The Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study Of Democracy ANDREA MITCHELL CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF DEMOCRACY POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP 2018-2019 CALL FOR APPLICATIONS 2018-2019 Academic Year Application Deadline: February 18, 2018 Apply through Interfolio at https://apply.interfolio.com/47844<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__apply.interfolio.com_4…> The University of Pennsylvania's Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy invites applications for a one-year Postdoctoral Fellowship in any discipline whose research is pertinent to the theme of the Center's 2018-2019 faculty workshop series, "Democracy in Trouble?" In addition to pursuing independent research, the postdoctoral fellow is expected to attend monthly workshops connected to the faculty series and contribute to the events' lively discussions; teach one undergraduate course related to their academic interests; co-lead a research seminar for Mitchell Center undergraduate fellows; and attend other Mitchell events whenever possible. The stipend is $53,800 plus benefits, including health insurance. The "Democracy in Trouble?" theme year grows from a growing sense that democratic governance is under siege around the world. New democracies such as Poland and Hungary are reverting to authoritarian practices. Voters throughout the West - and elsewhere - have shown a willingness to jettison democratic institutions and norms to pursue the narrow interests of national, linguistic, or religious groups. Commitment to democracy has waned in particular among young people. The United States and other countries have witnessed demagogic attacks on the media, the courts, and an array of perceived internal enemies. "Democracy in Trouble?" seeks to both examine and counter these trends with wide-ranging discussions that reach our entire campus community and beyond. The faculty series will consist of two conferences that bookend the academic year. The first will provide a frank appraisal of democracy's current challenges. The second will focus on strategies of resistance to authoritarian rule. In a series of faculty seminars throughout the year we will host public discussions led by engaged faculty on tough issues around democracy: how the media can better serve it; whether economic reforms are necessary to bolster it; whether immigration challenges it; how authoritarian regimes like Russia seek to undermine it; how voter suppression affects its operation; and more. Global in its outlook, multifaceted in its purposes, the Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy seeks to contribute to the ongoing quest for democratic values, ideas, and institutions throughout the world. In addition to hosting speakers from the fields of academia, journalism, politics, and public policy, the Mitchell Center supports undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral research. It continues the legacy of the Penn Program for Democracy, Citizenship, and Constitutionalism, which fostered interdisciplinary scholarship from 2007 to 2017. QUALIFICATIONS International scholars are welcome. Applicants should have received the PhD no earlier than May 2013 but must have completed all requirements for the PhD by September 30, 2018.

Brandeis Spring instructor for social movements

by Matteson, Jessica M.

FYI Hello, Boston-area sociologist friends! My apologies for the mass email, but I’m looking for some help: my department is looking for someone to teach my undergraduate social movements course at Brandeis this coming spring semester, while I’m on partial parental leave. The person teaching the course would have access to my syllabus and course materials to help with prep, and the students are typically really engaged—the course is also the core course for the Social Justice and Social Policy (SJSP) minor at Brandeis. This could be a great opportunity for an advanced grad student or recent grad. I would love it if you could let me know if you can think of anyone who might be a good fit, or pass this message on to them. Those interested will eventually have to apply online, but in the short term they can just send an email and a CV to my chair, Karen Hansen, at khansen(a)brandeis.edu<mailto:khansen@brandeis.edu>. I’m also happy to answer questions about the course, timing, etc. Many, many thanks in advance!
