Application deadline: March 27, 2015 The European Union Center of California, Pomona College, the University of Rijeka, and the University of Groningen are delighted to announce our Summer School on Transitional Justice and the Politics of Memory in the Mediterranean, which will be held on the island of Cres, Croatia from 22 June to 2 July 2015. This intensive 10-day summer school will explore the main theme of transitional justice alongside a number of comparative perspectives from elsewhere in the globe. The academic program features an international panel of experts as well as films, excursions, a special workshop on academic writing, publishing and grant proposal writing, and guest lectures from leading transitional justice practitioners. Themes covered include: Introduction to Transitional Justice, Criminal Justice and Accountability, Memory (Memorialization and Commemorative Practices), Oral Histories and Truth Commissions, and Lustration. Qualifications: The applicant must be a Scripps College, Pomona College, Pitzer College, Claremont McKenna College, or Harvey Mudd College student in good standing. Any advanced, highly motivated student with a demonstrated interest in transitional justice or human rights is encouraged to apply. Requirements: Upon return, the student will submit a short report on the program and may be asked to participate in the EU Center’s outreach programs, such as internship and summer school information sessions on campus. Compensation: The participant will be awarded a full stipend covering airfare, the cost of the program, and housing. CMC students will receive their stipends through the CMC Career Services office; therefore, they may have to later submit some additional documents to that office.
