A full day of tours of Jerusalem on 10 January was followed by a two-day Project Workshop held at the Notre Dame Centre in Jerusalem. Workshop booklet including full programme and abstracts and biographies is available to download here: http://www.conflictincities.org/PDFs/CinC%20Workshop%20booklet.pdf 'Conflict in Cities and the Contested State' is a five year research project starting in 2007 that focuses on divided cities as key sites in territorial conflicts over state and national identities, cultures and borders. The research objectives are to analyse how divided cities in Europe and the Middle East have been shaped by ethnic, religious and national conflicts, and conversely, how such cities can absorb, resist and potentially play a role in transforming the territorial conflicts which pervade and surround them. The project seeks to understand the cities as arenas of intensified ethno-national conflicts, particularly with respect to the role that architecture and the urban fabric play as a setting and background for everyday activities and events. Phenomena related to creating, maintaining, crossing, transcending or ignoring ethnic and territorial borders, both physical and symbolic, are central to the study. Conflict in Cities and the Contested State is generously funded by the Economic and Social Research Council of Great Britain. It builds on an earlier project begun in 2003 and supported by the ESRC Website of research project: http://www.conflictincities.org Thu, 04 Feb 2010 02:13:27 -0500 http://www.englishpal.ps/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=0&func=view&catid=6&id=3955#3955 Job ID/Title : 297 - Programme Manager Category : Natural Capital & Env.

I was born with and have lived my whole life with muscular dystrophy and so have the use of only one of my hands. Over the years I have been creating calendars of my thoughts and feelings about living in Palestine. I have done these drawings by hand. For the past number of years they have been sold in many parts of Europe. I have only recently found the means to print the calendars here in Palestine and thus is the reason for their being sold a bit later on in this year. To purchase a calendar (just 20 shekels) please send me an email at echlas2006@yahoo.com or call #0598505731. I look forward to hearing from you very soon!

Drawing on a range of practices, Cultural Studies researchers investigate values, beliefs and belongings, cultural processes and cultural objects, economic and social relations, institutions and identities. Comprising 69 distinguished faculty from 21 disciplines, CSQ offers an innovative program at the M.A. and Ph.D. levels that includes opportunities for cultural production and community and activist fieldwork. Cultural Studies at Queen`s is committed to a diversity of students and faculty, to the global expertise that they bring to the cultural, social and academic fields, and to student involvement in the shaping of the program. We are home to the graduate journal Shift, as well as a student-organized open seminar series. The program creates an intellectual environment that combines a high level of academic scholarship and an ongoing meaningful engagement with cultural and social issues relevant to local and global communities. To this end, we have options in both the M.A. and Ph.D. that allow students to become involved in various kinds of community organizations, to participate collaboratively with cultural producers or to develop their cultural practice (e.g. filmmaking, curation, performance) or to pursue community-based projects that have clear ties to the field areas of the program. The Ph.D. has been designed around four field areas: Communication, Media and Technologies; Globalization, Nationalisms and Cultural Citizenship; Social Movements; and Bodies and Identities.

Call for applications: project room @ aquarium / 2010 residencies Deadline for applications: 31 January 2010 Description From May 2010 Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain will host 'project room @ aquarium', a new artist-in-residency programme based in the so-called 'Aquarium', a 175 sqm steel and glass pavilion. This light-flooded structure, which was added to the southern facade of the building in 1959, integrates seamlessly with the Casino Luxembourg's historic architecture. While linking the venue with its urban environment, it remains partly disconnected from the main exhibition spaces within the building, which explains why it has been lacking a consistent function up to this point. The international residency programme, while aiming to stimulate exchange and debate with the local scene, was therefore devised to take full advantage of the Aquarium's potential by sharpening its visual identity and defining its purpose. 'project room @ aquarium' will be an integral part of the Casino Luxembourg's agenda of exhibitions and events. Participants are directly confronted with the location and will be asked to propose work that specifically addresses the space and its characteristics. They will furthermore be expected to present their practice to the public and to participate in the activities of Casino Luxembourg on specific occasions, to be defined with the management. Their project will be exhibited over a period of two months at the end of the residency and documented in a publication to coincide with the presentation. Eligibility The residency is open to all individuals or artists' collectives , who are looking to develop their practice in a professional context by creating new work or completing a specific project in relation to their research. Applicants are free to choose their means of artistic expression but must give documented proof of at least three years' work and exhibition practice. In order to facilitate communication with the local scene, participants should be fluent in either English, French or German. All applicants must hold a valid visa for the duration of the residency. Selection procedure A jury of experts will select the candidate(s) for the two residencies to be held in 2010 based on the quality of work and the applicants' potential to use the residency to maximum benefit. The selected candidate(s) will be informed of the jury results via email at the end of February 2010. Jury This year's jurors are Jean-Jacques Dumont, artist and professor, École supérieure d'art Metz Métropole (ESAMM) and École Supérieure des Arts décoratifs de Strasbourg (ÉSADS); Berit Fischer, freelance curator, Berlin; Emmanuel Lambion, freelance curator and art worker / Bn Projects, Brussels; Kevin Muhlen, artistic director, Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain; Christine Walentiny, exhibitions manager and project coordinator, Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain. Budget Casino Luxembourg will provide financial and technical support and will be in charge of implementing the artist's project to a maximum cost of EUR 10,000. Participants will be accommodated in a centrally located, self-sufficient flat at Centre Culturel de Rencontres Abbaye de Neumünster. Casino Luxembourg will cover for the artist's travel costs to and from Luxemburg and will provide a bulk sum of EUR 1,500 toward general expenses, to be paid in three instalments, the first of which will be made upon arrival. At the end of the residency participants will furthermore be paid a fee of EUR 1,500.

Our project is being implemented in conjunction with the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Education. Nablus is a city that has been hit extremely hard by the occupation and education has suffered as much as any other sector. Beginning in February of 2010, we will be providing between two and three hours per day of after school instruction in English for Palestinian ninth graders. We hope these students will spend four years in our program before moving on to top universities around the world. All of our students are drawn from the poorest neighborhoods in the city and selected for their talent and motivation. Our program's focus is on helping students overcome the disadvantages inherent in their living situation. In the initial period we will be evaluating our student pool, testing books and materials, and figuring out what areas we need to improve. We are planning to start with ten teachers and around 100 students. We are seeking volunteers for the initial project period which will be from February 15 to June 1. In April the project will be reevaluated and we will plan how to move forward and expand starting in July of 2010 with our second and much larger group of teachers. Motivation, the ability to work independently, and experience are the primary characteristics we are looking for in our teachers. In August we will be expanding to serve a much wider group of students and we are hoping to promote some of these initial group of teachers to salaried employees. Housing is provided and there is a small stipend.
