Topic and Purpose
In the second Summer School we will focus on major sceptic concepts, strategies and key terms in medieval Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin literature. Participants and instructors will focus on sceptical and anti-sceptical enquiry of concepts of truth and knowledge as well as sceptical methods of doubting and arguing. The Summer School will offer a unique platform to discuss the tension between philosophy and faith, and between reason and revelation within medieval discourses. Participants will be engaged with primary Hebrew, Latin, and Arabic texts. The aim is to provide participants with the tools to examine scepticism and anti-scepticism within Christian, Islamic, and Jewish contexts in relation to attaining true knowledge.
Lecturer Team
Course leaders are Racheli Haliva and Giuseppe Veltri. They will be supported by an international team of experts in scepticism from the fields of medieval philosophy and religious studies: Elena Baltuta, Guido Bartolucci, Daniel Davies, Heidrun Eichner, Amira Eran, Yehuda Halper, Steven Harvey, Gitit Holtzman, Henrik Lagerlund, Giovanni Licata, Ariel Malachi, Yoav Meyrav, and Ronny Vollandt.
Maimonides Centre for Advanced Studies at the University of Hamburg
The Maimonides Centre for Advanced Studies is a Humanities Research Institute at the University of Hamburg funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation). The central aim of the Maimonides Centre is to explore and research scepticism in Judaism in its dual manifestation of a purely philosophical tradition and a more general expression of sceptical strategies, concepts, and attitudes in the cultural field.
Target Group
The Summer School is intended for MA students and PhD candidates from the Humanities. Depending on capacity, BA students in their last year of studies may be accepted. Students must be competent in Arabic, Hebrew, or Latin. Familiarity with more than one of these languages is desirable, but not required.
Application
Up to 15 fully-funded scholarships, covering accommodation as well as travel expenses, are available. Applicants are requested to submit the following documents [in one pdf file]:
- a CV
- a personal statement outlining motivation and academic background. Applicants must indicate the group (Christian/Islamic/Jewish) to which s/he wishes to be part of.

16.07.2018-21.07.2018, Special Research Unit “Practices of Comparing” (SFB 1288), Bielefeld, and Wesleyan University
Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut, and Bielefeld University's Special Research Unit “Practices of Comparing” invites applications for fellowships at its summer school on historical theory for historical research. The six-day summer school will provide an introduction to theories of history in general and four approaches in greater detail. We will start with a general reflection on the “Theory of History”, and then focus on Practice Theory, Actor-Network-Theory, Systems Theory and Discourse Theory. The master classes will be led by Achim Landwehr, (Düsseldorf University), Ethan Kleinberg and Gary Shaw (both Wesleyan University), and Angelika Epple and Franz-Josef Arlinghaus (both Bielefeld University).
Clear introductory sessions to these complex theories will be followed by critical team-taught classes and student-centered, hands-on sessions that try to understand how these theories might actually be used in historical practice and in concrete discussion of historical documents and problems. The history of the practice of comparison will provide some thematic content to unify our discussions.
Classes will be held at Bielefeld University. Student Fellows will be selected upon application. Fellows will need to prepare some of the readings in advance of coming to Bielefeld. There will be no tuition charged and accommodation will be provided without charge. Fellowships also include reasonable travel costs.
For further information please visit http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/sfb1288/summer-of-theory.html.
Applications for fellowships are welcome from graduate students holding a BA degree and pursuing an advanced degree or planning to do so in any historical field or period. No more than 25 fellows will be accepted. To apply please send a CV and a letter of application explaining why you are interested in participating, what field you are working in and which theories would interest you most. You might also send an abstract/excerpt of a thesis or research paper. Please send the documents, preferably in one .pdf-file, to Estelle Legoix, mail: summer-of-theory@uni-bielefeld.de. Complete applications should be received by February 16, 2018.

Subject: Sem: Summer School: The Knowledge of the Curator II. Curating Art and Science - Groningen 7/2018
------------------------------------------------------------------------
University of Groningen, Groningen
08.07.2018-14.07.2018, University of Groningen
The Department of Art History at the University of Groningen, in collaboration with the Groninger Museum and Ghent University, offers a unique and innovative summer school program that puts students in direct contact with internationally renowned scholars, museum directors, and curators, including Andreas Blühm, Koenraad Jonckheere, Eric Jorink, Sue-an van der Zijpp, and special guest Ivan Gaskell (Bard Graduate Center, New York City).
Scope:
In recent years, the multifaceted role of the curator in museums, exhibition spaces, and cultural heritage sites has expanded significantly. In addition to making new acquisitions, developing exhibitions, employing educational strategies, and engaging diverse audiences, curators are also expected to produce innovative scholarship. This course asks how curatorial research relates to academic research conducted at universities. The particular focus of the summer school will be on the increasing interest in interdisciplinary projects that blur the boundaries between art and science. How can objects of artistic and scientific origin forge meaningful relationships? Can contemporary art serve as an ‘enhancement’ of historical scientific collections? How do collections of modern and contemporary art incorporate scientific objects?
Intended for art historians aiming for a career in academia, museums and cultural institutions, as well as junior professionals in those fields, this summer school is devoted to the knowledge, expertise, and skills required to meet the challenge of curating art and science.
In a curriculum that unites critical reading, thinking, and discussion with hands-on experience, the participants will
- be familiarized with recent theories and methods of an object centered art history
- develop theoretical knowledge and practical skills for a curatorial career
- bridge conventional boundaries between art and science, chronological periods, traditional genres, craft, and design as well as material and visual culture
A key feature of the summer school – in addition to lectures, presentations, and discussion – is the creation of an experimental exhibition with objects from the collections of the Groninger Museum and the University Museum. An excursion around the Netherlands enables participants to meet with curators on site.

Max Planck Institute for European Legal History, Frankfurt am Main
16.07.2018-27.07.2018, Max Planck Institute for European Legal History
The Max-Planck Summer Academy for Legal History provides a selected group of highly motivated early-stage graduates, usually PhD candidates, an in-depth introduction to methods and principles of research in legal history.
This year’s theme: The World and the Village. The Global and the Local in Legal History
As an academic discipline, legal history emerged both in Europe and several other world regions in the 19th and early 20th centuries: the age of the nation-state. Research in legal history that focuses on local and regional contexts—Europe, for example—is a largely product of this heritage.
Global history, historiographic reflection and new methods in the humanities have helped to bring the complexity of local, national, regional and global relationships into the purview of legal history. Moreover, the increasing importance of supranational and transnational law make it all the more urgent from the perspective of legal studies to consider the relation between world and village.
Applicants to the 2018 Summer Academy are encouraged to present research projects that give special consideration to the connection between local and global legal discourses.
Eligibility Requirements
- Early-stage graduates (usually PhD candidates)
- Substantial working knowledge of English is required, German is not a prerequisite.
Required documents for the application are a CV, a project summary (approx. 10 pages) and a letter of motivation.
Fees
There is no participation fee. Accommodation will be provided by the organizers. Participants, however, will be responsible for covering their travel expenses. There will be a limited number of travel scholarships available. If you wish to apply, please include a second letter of motivation explaining why a grant should be awarded.
For further information please visit the Max Planck Summer Academy’s website: http://www.rg.mpg.de/summeracademy
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The academy consists of two parts. The first part provides an introduction to the study of sources, methodological principles, as well as theoretical models and controversial research debates on basic research fields of legal history. In the second part the participants discuss the research theme and develop their own approach to the theme.
The course will take place at the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

16.07.2018-19.07.2018, DFG-Forschergruppe 1986: "Natur in politischen Ordnungsentwürfen: Antike - Mittelalter - Frühe Neuzeit", Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
Welche Rolle spielt "Natur" bei der Bestimmung und Begründung von Rechtsnormen in vormodernen Kulturen? Wie wird sie in juridischen und politischen Diskursen verwendet, um Herrschaft zu legitimieren, zu konsolidieren oder aber auch zu destabilisieren, welcher Stellenwert wird ihr im Verhältnis zu anderen Autorisierungsinstanzen, etwa der des christlichen Gottes, zugesprochen? Welche Argumentationsfiguren und performativen Praktiken, welche Text- und Bildstrategien kommen dabei zum Einsatz? Dies sind einige der zentralen Fragen, mit der sich die Münchner Summer School in interdisziplinärer Perspektive befassen wird. Sie sollen in den Lehrveranstaltungen an konkreten Materialfeldern aus der Antike, dem Mittelalter und der Frühen Neuzeit diskutiert werden.
Willkommen sind Bewerbungen von fortgeschrittenen Studierenden und Promovenden der LMU und auswärtiger Universitäten aus folgenden Disziplinen: Theologie, Philosophie, Klassische und Neuere Philologien, Geschichtswissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte, Rechts-, Medizin- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte. Eine inhaltliche Nähe der eigenen Projekte der Bewerberinnen und Bewerber zu den Themen der Forschergruppe "Natur in politischen Ordnungsentwürfen: Antike – Mittelalter – Frühe Neuzeit" ist wünschenswert. Informationen zum Programm der Forschergruppe finden sich unter: www.for1986.uni-muenchen.de. Im Rahmen der Summer School wird den Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern Gelegenheit zur Vorstellung und Diskussion der eigenen Arbeiten geboten.
Die Kosten für Reise und Unterkunft der auswärtigen Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer über-nimmt die Forschergruppe. Gebühren fallen nicht an. Die erfolgreiche Teilnahme wird durch ein Zertifikat am Ende der Summer School bestätigt. Mit einer schriftlichen Hausarbeit kann ein Haupt- oder Oberseminarschein oder ein äquivalenter Leistungsnachweis in einem der beteiligten Fächer erworben werden. Wichtige Literatur wird zur Vorbereitung in einem Reader zugänglich gemacht.
Die Bewerbungsunterlagen umfassen ein Curriculum Vitae sowie ein kurzes Abstract über das derzeitige oder künftige Forschungsprojekt. Bewerbungen können bis 31. Januar 2018 per Post oder per E-Mail eingereicht werden.
