> of nationalism in India, he ended it with a call to look
> beyond the horizons of the nation-state. In yet another
> provocative collection of essays titled Beyond Nationalist
> Frames: Postmodernism, Hindu Fundamentalism, History
> (Permanent Black and Indiana University Press, 2002) Sumit
> Sarkar's treatment of the historical growth of the Right-
> wing in Indian politics led him to locate it as a vibrant
> and growing force in conditions of economic globalization.
>
> Having been spurred to study the historical
> antecedents of South Asian ethnocentrism and militarism,
> Sarkar pushed his own limits by studying the ways in which
> gender entered into and inflected these various brands of
> parochialism in a volume he co-edited with Tanika Sarkar,
> Women and Social Reform in Modern India (2008).
>
> Professor Sarkar began his teaching career at Burdwan
> and Kolkata Universities in Bengal. With the exception of
> short-term teaching assignments at the Universities of
> Oxford, Cambridge, and Sussex, he devoted the majority of
> his time to mentoring and teaching at the Department of
> History in Delhi University from 1976 till 2009.

> NBR's Center for Health and Aging recently sat down for a Q&A with Dr.

> the health implications that Japan faces from the recent tsunami and the
> ongoing nuclear crisis in Fukushima. Dr. Checchi is an expert on
> infectious disease surveillance and control in crisis-affected
> populations.

> In the interview, Dr. Checchi explains that Japan is much better placed
> to respond to this disaster than other countries that have endured
> similar crises, but health concerns are still prevalent, with one of the
> most urgent being to monitor the mental health and stress levels of the
> survivors.
>
> Questions Dr. Checchi discusses include Japan's most urgent health
> concerns following the quake, the long and short-term risks associated
> with radiation exposure, and what measures should Japan take to
> facilitate physical and mental health wellness for those affected by the
> tragedy. Links to the full interview are below:

> The 2nd Flying University of Transnational Humanities
> A Summer School for Graduate Students and Young Scholars
>
> The Flying University of Transnational Humanities (FUTH) is an annual
> summer school and year-round online forum for researchers and graduate
> students interested in the transnational paradigm of humanistic inquiry.
>
> FUTH takes its name and immediate inspiration from Poland's Flying
> University, an underground institution which offered an alternative
> education outside the remit of state control and government censorship.
> FUTH is particularly concerned with developing critical understandings
> that are resistant to the ideological and ideational hegemony of the
> nation-state and the epistemological and hermeneutic conventions that
> support it. This does not mean that FUTH seeks to dispense with the
> "national" and construct a reified "transnational" to replace it or to
> foster "transnationalism" as an ideological alternative to "nationalism".
> FUTH aims to free our imaginations from the regime of the nation-state and
> to offer new ways of thinking about the political, social and cultural
> order of the world, both past and present.
>
> The Flying University of Transnational Humanities is "in session" once per
> year for one week, and will normally be held during summer vacation. The
> host site changes on an annual or bi-annual basis and rotates between
> partner institutions. FUTH online runs year-round: through its dedicated
> website, a permanent online space will be provided for interactive
> discussions. All institutions, departments, and scholars are welcome to
> participate both offline and online.
>
> Each year, FUTH will have a different cross-disciplinary theme around
> which the sessions will be organized. Renowned scholars from partner and
> other institutions will be invited to share their ideas in lectures and
> discussions. The FUTH steering and advisory committees, in conjunction
> with faculty members of partner institutions and other specialists, will
> prepare lecture syllabi and reading lists. Student participants are
> expected to study the readings in advance of each lecture and seminar
> discussion. A selected number of participants will also have an
> opportunity to present their ongoing research. All lectures, seminars
> and presentations will be held in English, in principle, while the
> possibility of translingual practices will be explored.
>
> The 2nd FUTH will take place at the Research Institute of Comparative
> History and Culture, Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea, June 25-29, 2011.
> Under the subheading of "Border-crossing Self", we hope to gather diverse
> research and knowledge on border-related (cross-border or bordering)
> issues such as migration, ethnicity, language, citizenship and gender and
> open up a forum for discussions on the (un)making of the trans/national
> self.
>
> FUTH 2011
> Date: June 25 29, 2011

>
> The Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context" at
> Heidelberg University welcomes applications for its Summer School 2011
> from graduate students in humanities and social sciences with an interest
> in transcultural studies. It will take place from July 24 to 29 in
> Heidelberg, Germany.
>
> This year's Summer School "Cultures of Consumption in Asia and Europe"
> will explore the meaning and significance of consumption in the past and
> present as a crucial link between Europe and Asia. Although 'consumer
> society' has become a prominent term for the description of the ways of
> life connected with a globalized modernity, the particular mode of
> experience and of interaction with things to which it points is neither
> exclusively modern nor exclusively occidental. Referring to the recent
> innovative insights from cultural and economic history, social sciences
> and anthropology, together with the expertise of foremost scholars working
> on both European and Asian themes, the aim of the programme is to gain a
> truly transcultural grasp of respective cultures of consumption.
>
> The programme is designed to provide stimulating opportunity to get new
> inspiration for graduate work, exchange ideas on the topics of one's
> research and actively engage with an international group of peers as well
> as renowned scholars. The confirmed speakers include Joanna Elfving-Hwang
> (Frankfurt), Sheldon Garon (Princeton), Manpreet Janeja (Cambridge),
> Robert Hellyer (Wake Forest), Angus Lockyer (SOAS London), Seoungsook Moon
> (Vassar College), Francoise Sabban (EHESS Paris), and from the University
> of Heidelberg Rudolf G. Wagner, Christiane Brosius, Harald Fuess, Katja
> Patzel-Mattern, David Mervart and Mio Wakita.
>
> In addition to the academic programme, a range of excursions and leisure
> activities in and around the city of Heidelberg is on offer, including a
> guided city tour, visit of the German Packaging Museum and a beer tasting
> event.
>
> Prospective participants should send their application together with a
> letter of motivation by May 31, 2011 to the address
> summerschool@asia-europe.uni-heidleberg.de

>
> Sacred architecture offers valuable insights into the priorities and
> prerogatives of the world's great religions, while revealing cultural and
> political attitudes within and between those faiths. Of particular
> interest
> in the current global political climate are the relationships between
> architectural forms associated with Islam and those of non-Muslim
> communities. Whether constructed by non-Muslims in a predominantly Muslim
> society or preserved in their original forms and/or functions after the
> arrival of Islam, it is in the structures and spaces of non-Muslims that
> one
> may find some of the most potent articulations of cultural identity.
>
> This panel invites papers which examine structures and spaces created by
> and
> for non-Muslims in predominantly Muslim societies from the emergence of
> Islam in the 7th century to the present day. Papers may focus on a single
> monument, a building type, a particular city or region, a faith other than
> Islam, or any other topic relevant to the historical presence of
> non-Muslim
> sacred architecture in Islamic cultures. The papers could clarify how the
> new architecture responded to the contextual issues and traditions or how
> the new context influenced a historically established design. The papers
> in
> this panel could also discuss the pre-existing monuments preserved after
> the
> arrival of Islam (e.g., medieval structures in Islamic Spain; Christian
> churches in Jerusalem, and synagogues in Isfahan); religious monuments
> constructed in an area under the political or religious control of
> Muslims,
> such as those built by Hindu and Sikh populations in Sultanate and Mughal
> South Asia; and monuments constructed by non-Muslims who arrived from
> elsewhere in regions under Muslim control (e.g., Sephardic Jews,
> Armenians,
> Dutch, and Portuguese). Especially welcome are papers that deploy new
> methodological, theoretical, and comparative approaches to the analysis of
> such structures.
