This summer four Brown International Advanced Research Institutes
will be held at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Each Institute is designed as a residential, intensive two-week long workshop, organized as a mix of lectures, round tables, group work, field trips and social interactions. Each will be led by a team of recognized scholars in the field, who have invited world-renowned lecturers and speakers to join and participate in the Institute’s formal and informal activities. During the Institute participants will be given the opportunity to share and present their work, and will have access to Brown University’s world class research facilities and resources.
The institutes have been accepting applications for a couple of months, but the website does not indicate a closed date.
The four topics are:
- Law, Social Thought and Global Governance, June 7-20, 2009
- Technology, Entrepreneurship and Management, June 14-27, 2009
- Development and Inequality in the Global South, May 31 – June 13. 2009
- Towards a Global Humanities: Critical Traditions from the Global South, May 31 – June, 2009
A fifth institute, The Genome and the Computational Sciences: The Next Paradigms, was originally scheduled for May 10-16, 2009, but has been postponed to 2010.
