SUMMER SCHOOL SPACE, MOBILITY AND TRANSFORMATION

Summer School Goals The PhD Summer School is embedded in the research and network project Fluid mobilities for cities in transformation: spatial dynamics of marshrutkas in Central Asia and the Caucasus (Marshrutka Project). Within the scope of the project, we want to gain insights into transformation processes through the lens of changing mobility practices. We are inviting doctoral students from diverse disciplines, such as geography, urban studies, anthropology, social and political sciences, and others, interested in the questions of space, mobility and transformation. The summer school is designed to encourage transnational interdisciplinary discussions, and provide high-impact feedback and networking opportunities for its participants. We offer [1] thematic key-note speeches, [2] training sessions on research methods, [3] an opportunity to share, discuss, and receive feedback for ongoing research projects, [4] mobility-themed field trips. Besides offering a unique and understudied thematic focus, we offer a cozy and thorough working environment and networking opportunities. The summer school invites five projectfunded PhD students, ten external PhD students (please see information on funding opportunities below), ten project partners from Kyrgyz, Kazak, Tajik, Russian, Georgian and German academic institutions, international and local key-note speakers, trainers and stakeholders. Such a high student/professor ratio and a diverse regional and thematic expertise of the participants will ensure an opportunity for constructive in-depth discussions.

About the Marshrutka Project

Minibuses locally known as marshrutkas are a common sight in urban and rural landscapes of Central Asia and the Caucasus. The Marshrutka project deals with the role of the marshrutka mobility phenomenon in the production of post-Soviet urban spaces, in and beyond Central Asia and the Caucasus. It provides an empirically founded contribution to the larger discussion on post-Soviet transformation, and fosters a still under-represented view on post-Soviet transformation, highlighting – through the lens of the marshrutka phenomenon – the bottom-up and everyday emergence of new orders in the fields of economy, morale, urban development and migration. The project is carried out by means of five complementary PhD projects under supervision of academic project partners; in addition, a post-doc based at the IfL in Leipzig is charged with a cross-cutting research project and ensures the conceptual coherence of the project. The project sees its outcomes in terms of a solid and sustainable transfer of knowledge and methods, from German partners towards the academic institutions in the target regions, and vice versa, strengthened local research capacities and infrastructures, and long-lasting research cooperation.

Thematic Focus

We understand mobility as a mode of space production. Space has become a prevailing concept for speaking about ordering of social relations and urban life. Bourdieu, de Certeau, Lefebvre and many others used spatial approaches to analyse the relations between social and material, the structure of societies, the organisation of the urban every day. The end of last century witnessed a “mobility turn”, implying that mobility is crucial to a social production of space (cf. Urry 2002, 2004, 2007; Edensor 2004; Jensen O 2009; Jensen A 2011). At the same time, social sciences lack appropriate vocabulary for a description of mobile objects constituting space.

While the project-related PhD research is focusing primarily on marhsrutka mobility, external participants are welcome to present papers or the following (and related) themes:

Shared taxis and paratransit in the global North and South;
Mobility and informal practices;
Bottom-up social orders, entrepreneurship and transition;
Space and mobility in post-Soviet cities and beyond;
Flexible Openings

The summer school is primarily designed for doctoral students. However, in exceptional cases, the applications from post-doctoral and early career researchers, as well as MA students will also be considered. The knowledge of the post-Soviet region is welcome but not necessary. The working language of the summer school will be English. For selected lectures, translation from Russian will be provided.

Submission guidelines

The application should include a motivation letter, a short CV and an abstract (not more than 500 words) of the paper you are planning to present at the summer school. Please submit the application to Lela Rekhviashvili ([email protected]) by April 30, 2016.

Travel grants

The participation of the Summer School is for free. We offer travel grants up to 400 EUR to ten selected applicants. The sessions of the Summer School will be held daily from August 14 – August 18, 9am until 6pm, and full attendance is required. The participants of the Summer School will receive a certificate of attendance.

ACADEMIC COORDINATOR

for the International Max Planck Research School on Retaliation, Mediation and Punishment (IMPRS-REMEP), starting as soon as possible.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities
The varied and interesting duties associated with the position of Academic Coordinator overlap at the juncture between research and administration. The successful applicant will support and assist the speaker and steering committee of the IMPRS and promote the external visibility of the programme. Duties will also involve the on-going organisational requirements of the IMPRS, assisting doctoral students in academic, administrative and practical matters, design and implementation of the curriculum, as well as the co-ordination of the applicant selection procedure, the organisation of workshops and the preparation of publications. The coordinator herself or himself should spend quarter time of the position on own research. Therefore, research interests related to the REMEP programme are required.

The School
The Graduate Programme of the IMPRS-REMEP addresses pivotal issues concerning the maintenance and preservation of social order and social control. These fundamental questions take on, particularly in the context of conflict and post-conflict societies, a new meaning, where, in the search for solution strategies, traditional approaches to conflict regulation (mediation) can be fallen back upon. These steps partially co-exist alongside long-established customary concepts of retaliation, supplementing established punitive models and reasoning or, to a certain extent, replacing them completely. 
The Graduate Programme of the IMPRS-REMEP addresses issues of maintenance, construction, negotiation and preservation of social order and human security. The research agenda of REMEP combines the fields of anthropology with criminology and (international) criminal law, legal history and public international law. The focus of analysis is directed towards conflict and conflict settlement procedures which are informed by the basic concepts of retaliation, mediation, and punishment. Research topics range from conflict resolution in egalitarian societies to conflict management procedures in (post-) conflict societies. Travelling technologies of ordering, new arrangements of governance, networks of cooperation as well as the impact of rights-based approaches and human rights, religious law and tenets of faith in the transformation of ordering practices proved to be fields of research which allow new insight into the overall question about the normative power and the social working of the basic concepts of REMEP.

Besides the MPI for Social Anthropology, a number of other higher education facilities and research institutes are involved in the programme. These are the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History, the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law, as well as the University of Freiburg and the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. For fuller information consult http://www.eth.mpg.de/cms/de/research/d1/, http://www.eth.mpg.de/cms/de/research/d3/, http://www.remep.mpg.de . 


Your Profile
Requirements for the position are a university degree (preferably with a doctorate in the field of social anthropology, sociology, or jurisprudence, and research experience within the subject fields of the IMPRS, experience in research management and excellent German and English language skills. In addition, the successful applicant will possess outstanding communication skills, a high degree of flexibility, the ability to work under pressure and lastly, enjoy working in an international environment. 


Our Offer
Employment will be on a full-time contractual basis. Remuneration will be awarded in accordance with the German public service. The position is awarded for 2 years, with the possibility for an extension. The workplace is Halle (Saale).

The Max Planck Society strives to employ more persons with disabilities and explicitly encourages applications. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society is committed to raising the proportion of women in under-represented fields; we thus explicitly encourage applications by women.
