DeJesus, York University (kdejesus@yorku.ca <mailto:kdejesus@yorku.ca> ) Session Précis: This session centers concepts of place and structure toward exploring the role of refugee/internal displacement camps as a structuring force (Sack 1997). Refugee/internal displacement camps are constitutive of social, material, economic, and political dimensions, which shape forms and processes of everyday human relationality. Bringing together scholars carrying out qualitative, as well as quantitative research in refugee camps, the objective of this session is to further explain how refugee camps - sites of placemaking, as well as everyday living/"living on" (Lloyd 2000)- co-operate as a constitutive force in the life experiences and historical geographies of persons living long-term displacement. Refugee camps as places, structure patterns and forms of social relationships and institutions, including the family, state-refugee-society relations, as well as the implementation of humanitarian supports and NGO projects. Questions of agency and the role of place in refugee camp life, intersecting through the structuring force of refugee/internal displacement camps, provides the focus for this panel. The organizing question for this session is two-fold: How are refugee camps a structuring force, and what are the implications for apprehending the role of the refugee camp as structure, in shaping understandings of everyday living amidst the circumstances of long-term displacement? Please send your paper abstract and registration PIN to Kevin DeJesus, kdejesus@yorku.ca <mailto:kdejesus@yorku.ca> , with "AAG Refugee Camps Session" noted in your e-mail subject line.

Our collections are wide-ranging, rich, and sometimes a little eccentric. If you study the humanities, chances are good we have something for you. We promise you remarkable collections; a lively interdisciplinary community of researchers; individual consultations on your research with staff curators, librarians, and scholars; and an array of scholarly and public programs. LONG-TERM FELLOWSHIPS These awards support research and writing by scholars with a doctorate. Their purpose is to help fellows develop or complete larger-scale studies that draw on our collections, and to foster intellectual exchange among fellows and the Library community. Fellowship terms range from six to eleven months with stipends of up to $50,400. Long-term applications are due January 11, 2010 SHORT-TERM FELLOWSHIPS Ph.D. candidates and scholars with a doctorate are eligible for short-term travel-to-collections fellowships. Their purpose is to help researchers study specific materials at the Newberry that are not readily available to them elsewhere. Short-term fellowships are usually awarded for a period of one month. Most are restricted to scholars who live and work outside the Chicago area. Stipends are $1600 per month. NEW: We invite short-term fellowship applications from teams of two or three scholars who plan to collaborate intensively on a single, substantive project. The individual scholars on a team awarded a fellowship will each receive a full stipend of $1600 per month. Teams should submit a single application, including cover sheets and CVs from each member. Short-term applications are due March 1, 2010. We also offer exchange fellowships with British, French and German institutions, a fellowship for American Indian women pursuing any post-graduate education, and a fellowship for published independent scholars.
