Dear friends and colleagues:

I am glad to announce that we are continuing with our course in the academic year 2013-2014 too. The title of the course this year remains the same - “Social Structures and Institutions: The Quest for Social Justice”. The scope and suggested topics of the course you will find in the attached flyer.

We invite you to participate in the work of the seminar with a formal lecture or seminar presentation. Both can include a work-in-progress presentation of your current empirical research or theoretical work. The course is scheduled June 16-21 2014 and daily schedule would be the following: two lectures in the morning and one (two) lectures and/or seminar presentation(s) or a round table discussion(s) in the afternoon. Please give us your suggestions concerning the schedule of our work! I expect your answer soon as well as the title and a short summary of your presentation.

Concerning the financial side of the course, no domestic funding is available. Each participant is encouraged to apply for funding from his/her employer. Participants coming from Central and East European Countries should be able to obtain full financial support from their local branch Soros office (Open Society Institute), OSI/HESP Budapest, DAAD or other grants. We are enclosing the 2014hotel price list in Dubrovnik. Cheaper accommodation could be obtained in the IUC dormitory (in the same building where the course is organized), in private rooms or in a Dubrovnik hostel, too. We urge you to reserve your accommodation and travel as soon as possible due to high demand in Dubrovnik. Please, contact the “Gulliver tourist agency”.

Please, bear in mind that we would like to bring as many students (primarily but not exclusively graduate students) to the course as possible. They will be encouraged to take an active part in the discussions and/or presentations. The financial aspects of student participation are the same as the above. I kindly ask you to seek out for the students who would be interested in coming to the Dubrovnik course, and help them in obtaining the funding from their academic or other institutions.

Finally, each participant will be required to pay a small fee to the IUC at the spot. Please, send the title and a short summary (200-250 words) of your presentation to the contact person no later then May 15th2014.

Hoping to see you soon in Dubrovnik, yours sincerely,

Ognjen Caldarovic
