Library Research Fellowship Program, 2013-14 for use of the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection
Thanks to generous funding from the Elios Society, the University Library at California State University, Sacramento is pleased to announce the second of a three-year Library Research Fellowship Program to support the use of the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection by fellows for scholarly research in Hellenic studies while in residence in Sacramento. The Program provides a limited number of fellowships ranging from $500 to $4,000 to help offset transportation and living expenses incurred during the tenure of the awards and is open to external researchers anywhere in the world at the doctoral through senior scholar levels (including independent scholars) working in fields encompassed by the Collection’s strengths who reside outside a
150 mile radius of Sacramento. The term of fellowships can vary between one week and three months, depending on the nature of the research, and for the second year will be tenable from July 1, 2013-June 30, 2014. The fellowship application deadline is March 4, 2013. No late applications will be considered.
Comprising the holdings of the former Speros Basil Vryonis Center for the Study of Hellenism, the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection, currently numbering some 75,000 volumes, was donated to Sacramento State in December 2002 and named in honor of its benefactor and alumnus Angelo Tsakopoulos. With its focus on the Hellenic world, the Collection contains early through contemporary materials across the social sciences and humanities relating to Greece, its neighboring countries and the surrounding region, with particular strengths in post-Classical Hellenism. There is a broad representation of languages in the Collection, with a rich assortment of primary source materials. Since 2009 the Collection has experienced dramatic growth with the gift acquisition of the libraries of the late Pyrrhus J. Ruches and the late Dr. Steve A. Demakopoulos, which together are adding over 5,000 volumes to our holdings in the areas of Greek language, folklore, history, literature, music, and anthropology. For further information about the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection, visit http://library.csus.edu/tsakopoulos.

Arabic Bursaries
The Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL) has launched a new initiative to provide advanced language training to academic faculty who work on the Arab world. The programme caters to the specific needs of professors, lecturers, and post-doctoral researchers who have already reached a high level of proficiency and use Arabic sources in their research, but who would benefit from the opportunity to refresh their language skills during a period of intensive immersion. To be eligible for a CBRL Arabic Bursary, applicants should: (i) hold a PhD in the humanities, social sciences, or other relevant discipline; (ii) EITHER be employed (full or part time, permanent or temporary) at a UK higher education insitution OR hold a PhD from a UK university and be employed as a faculty member at a university outside the UK; and (iii) be a current member of the CBRL. The deadline for applications is May 31, 2013. CBRL Arabic Bursaries are worth the equivalent of £2500 ($4000). They cover the cost of tuition, travel, and accommodation for participants in the CBRL Academic Arabic Programme, which will be held in Beirut, Lebanon from 2 to 20 September 2013. Conducted entirely in Arabic, the three-week course offers a combination of content-based discussion on various topics in Arab history, culture and society, and sessions designed to hone general language proficiency (listening, reading, writing and speaking). The programme provides 12 hours per week of small group sessions (6-8 participants), in addition to 4 hours per week of individual tuition to focus on topics and skills of relevance to their research interests (e.g. specific literary or historical texts, interview skills, colloquial Arabic, etc). The programme aims to replicate the intellectual environment of a university seminar held in Arabic, rather than traditional pedagogical instruction. In September 2013, the course will be provided by the Institut Francais du Proche Orient (IFPO) Beirut. For further details about the CBRL Academic Arabic Programme, visit www.cbrl.org.uk/news.html. The deadline for bursary applications is May 31, 2013. Further information is available at www.cbrl.org.uk/support.html.

Sakıp Sabancı International Research Award 2013
In honor of the late Sakıp Sabancı, the Honorary Chairman of Board of Trustees of Sabancı University, The Sakıp Sabancı International Research Awards are given each year in the field of social sciences.
This year’s theme is: “Checks and Balances in a Democracy: Turkey in a Comparative Perspective”
There is often too much emphasis on the procedural aspects of democracies, such as elections and representation. This is true especially in the case of countries that seek to shed the authoritarian aspects of their political systems and make progress towards democratic legitimation by way of elections. This may lead to populism of the kind that may be called “democratic authoritarianism” or, more simply put, the tyranny of the majority. More specifically, within a milieu of social, political, and economic transformations, the pressures of transition may often lead to a neglect of the need for the institutionalization of democratic checks and balances that are so essential for the consolidation of democratic government.
The Sakıp Sabancı International Research Award entails a Jury Prize for 25,000 USD on the above-mentioned theme. The Jury Prize will be awarded to an individual who has made distinguished contributions in this theme. An independent and international jury will select this Awardee.
A series of Essay Awards will also be given to researchers under 45 years of age. This category includes 10,000 USD for each of three award-winning essays selected by the same jury panel from among submissions made for the competition.
The Essay Awards competition calls for the examination the Turkish experience of the above-mentioned theme from a comparative perspective. Turkish commitment to democracy and the strains and pressures generated by rapid social, economic and cultural transformations threatening democratic consolidation deserve further analysis within a comparative framework.
Conditions for the Essay Award competition are:
- All entries, which may be coauthored, must be new and original works, not published previously in any form.
- Essays must be of the format and size of a regular academic journal article (25 to 35 pages, in double-space format, including references).
- An abstract of 500 words embedded into the original essay and a short CV of the author(s) are required.
- Entries must be submitted in English, in the form of a Word document to the following address: http://award.sabanciuniv.edu/submityourentry/
For further information: http://award.sabanciuniv.edu. Submissions deadline: Monday, April 15, 2013.

Postdoctoral Fellowship for Transregional Research: Inter-Asian Contexts and Connections
The SSRC is pleased to announce its inaugural cohort of Transregional Research Postdoctoral Fellows. Nineteen fellowships were awarded in the program’s pilot phase (2012-2013) for innovative transregional research projects.
In addition, the SSRC has received additional support to continue the Postdoctoral Fellowship for Transregional Research program, and will offer another round of fellowships in 2013-2014. These fellowships are aimed at supporting transregional research under the rubric Inter-Asian Contexts and Connections. Their purpose is to strengthen the understanding of issues and geographies that do not fit neatly into existing divisions of academia or the world and to develop new approaches, practices, and opportunities in international, regional, and area studies in the United States. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, these fellowships will continue to help junior scholars (those at the postdoctoral stage, one to seven years out of the PhD) complete first books and/or undertake second projects. In addition to funding research, the program will create networks and shared resources that will support Fellows well beyond the grant period. The Postdoctoral Fellowship for Transregional Research will thus provide promising scholars important support at critical junctures in their careers.
The intellectual thrust of the project will continue to be the re-conceptualization of Asia as an interlinked historical and geographic formation stretching from the Middle East through Eurasia, Central Asia, and South Asia to Southeast Asia and East Asia. Proposals submitted for the fellowship competition should bear upon processes that connect places and peoples (such as migration, media, and resource flows) as well as those that reconfigure local and trans-local contexts (such as shifting borders, urbanization, and social movements). The broad focus of the program is intended to advance transregional research as well as to establish structures for linking scholars across disciplines in the arts, the humanities, and the social sciences.
Questions can be addressed to transregional@ssrc.org
