RESEARCH PROJECT The status of the European Leviathan is in doubt today as never before. Whether in the form of authoritarian governments or populist agitation, there is intense contention over what the role, size, and scope of the state in the 21st century should be. What can a historical account tell us about the European Leviathan then and now? What holds our European community together? Amid this uncertainty, our project calls attention to a common concern for the health of the individual and the well-being of the social body. We argue that post-war European history on each side of the so-called Iron Curtain is characterised by a preoccupation with health as the common good. Taking medicine as an analytical lens offers a common reference point through which a shared and integrated history of Europe can be developed beyond the usual clichés and dichotomies of the period. That is the unusual but promising argument that underlies our project. Our project is notable for its multidisciplinary approach: Neither economics nor politics nor ideology nor everyday life, but an integration of these perspectives makes it possible to pursue the development of the common good both, in state socialism and in the capitalist state. To do this, we propose a multi-layered investigation of medicine, which came to represent a significant—if not the decisive—institutional, conceptual and legitimating framework for all efforts towards the common good. Thus, on the one hand, the life sciences’ claim to universal truth offers a privileged perspective beyond the usual oppositions of ideology, economic, and political systems. On the other hand, medicine is socially, politically, economically, technologically and culturally determined more than nearly any other field of our modern life. The innovative approach of our project goes beyond our heuristic methodology. Rather than merely studying postwar Europe’s two halves separately, we aim to understand Europe as one. The Principal investigators` project team (Prof. Dr. Volker Hess, History of Medicine at the Charité Medical School and professor at the History Department of the HU Berlin, Germany; Prof. Dr. Judit Sándor, Department of Political Science, the Department of Law and the Department of Gender Studies at Central European University (CEU/KEE); Prof. Dr. Ulf Schmidt, Humanities, History of Germany at the University of Hamburg, Germany; Assoc.

It focuses on the analysis of changing discourses of Europe, especially in regard to the transfer of concepts, values and ideas. Thus, it seeks to redefine the concept of Europeanization, in particular in Southeastern Europe, and to identify the historically grounded cultural, economic and social processes that are circumscribed by it. The Field of Excellence explores the field of Europeanization through interdisciplinary approaches, incorporating sociology, history, geography, cultural studies, literature, law, political science, economics, theology, as well as digital methods. It currently includes 29 principal investigators from five different faculties and the inter-faculty Center for Southeast European Studies at the University. The Field of Excellence includes doctoral training, research projects and a fellowship program. Junior Visiting Fellowship Junior Visiting Fellows will receive a monthly stipend of 1250 € for the duration of 4 months (October 2023 – January 2024 or March 2024 – June 2024) and travel costs to Graz (of up to 500 €). The application should include a CV, including referees, and a one-page research plan that clearly highlights how the research links to “Dimensions of Europeanization” and (at least) to one of the clusters. Please also inform us which clusters you would prefer to assign your topic and your research. Junior Visiting Fellows need to have completed their PhD by the time they begin their fellowship. Applications should also indicate the preferred semester for the fellowship. Deadline 16th March 2023.

The application should include a CV and a one-page research plan that clearly highlights how the research of the fellow links to “Dimensions of Europeanization” and (at least) to one of the clusters. Please also inform us which clusters you would prefer to assign your topic and your research. The Senior Visiting Fellowship Program is open to researchers with an established international reputation. Applications should also indicate the preferred semester for the fellowship. Deadline 16th March 2023. Application for Junior and Senior Visiting Fellows Junior and Senior Visiting Fellows will receive workspace, library access and will be involved in the activities of the Field of Excellence “Dimensions of Europeanization”, the five Clusters and participating institutes, as well as the Centre for Southeast European Studies. All fellows are expected to be physically present at the University of Graz during the four months of the fellowship, present their research during their stay, attend other presentations and contribute to the academic environment of the university. Fellows are expected to work on a specific publication during their stay. The university will cover liability and accident insurance, while health insurance needs to be covered by fellows. Fellows will not be employed by the University of Graz. Fellows need to take care of their residence permit for the whole duration of their fellowship beforehand.

PEORIA — The Bradley men's basketball team is expected to have a large addition to its Missouri Valley Conference team as early as this weekend. Serbian player Ahmet Jonovic, a 7-foot-1, 260-pound center who can run, is on his way from Europe. Bradley coach Brian Wardle declined to comment Friday afternoon on specific players Bradley is recruiting. He maintained that the team has a scholarship open and is looking to fill it. Jonovic, 19, has played the last two seasons at OKK Beograd, which is part of the top professional league in Serbia and considered a top-six pro league in Europe. The freshman would fill an open scholarship and roster spot created when redshirt guard Max Ekono left earlier this month to play junior college basketball at Clarendon, Texas. https://www.pjstar.com/story/sports/college/basketball/bradley-hoops/2022/12/30/bradley-basketball-recruiting-bu-to-land-7-foot-1-center-from-serbia/69767989007/

Weber State men’s basketball took down undefeated Utah State on Monday just as administrators were finalizing the promotion of Mickey Mental to head football coach, leading to Wednesday where Mental would be officially introduced and football coaches started signing players to national letters of intent for the early football signing period. In the middle of one of the busiest three days of notable events in recent Weber State memory, WSU men’s basketball secured an important bit of news for its future Wednesday as well. Skilled guard Nemanja Sarenac announced his commitment to Weber State on Instagram. “I am happy to say that I have committed to D1 Weber State University,” his post reads. Sarenac is 6-foot-5 shooting guard and a native of Serbia. He will graduate in the 2023 class after two seasons at Hoosac School in New York. Hoosac is an international sports academy that competes in the New England prep school conference that hosts Brewster Academy and several other top such academies. It’s a name only hardcore recruiting hoopsheads would know. Sarenac has no recruiting profiles or ratings online, after all. But a Weber State coach recently traveled to remote Hoosick, New York, to see him play and secured his services over offers from Stanford, BYU, Yale and SMU. After a 29-point performance late in his junior season that gave Sarenac a 25-point-per-game average over his last five games, Brandon Goble of JUCO Advocate wrote on Twitter: “Nemanja is one of my favorite players in the 2023 class. 6’5 combo guard with elite shooting. Was with him in person on Serbia this summer. Will be a high level D1 player and is a high high level character kid.” CBB Europe, a Twitter account that tracks basketball prospects from Europe, wrote about Sarenac in February: “Clear cut D1 recruit with remarkable scoring chops and grades. Killer spot up & off movement shot, ability to pull up, sound ball handling skills, off dribble attacker with either hand.” Sarenac is Weber State’s second commitment for the 2023 class. He joins another 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Europe in Viljami Vartiainen of Finland, who committed and signed with the Wildcats during basketball’s early signing period in November. https://www.standard.net/sports/weber-state/2022/dec/23/nemanja-sarenac-commitment-weber-state-basketball-recruiting-2023/

TORRINGTON – Three Serbia students have formed a bond they say will last a lifetime as students at Eastern Wyoming College (EWC) in Torrington. EWC students freshman Ana Djurovic, of Belgrade, Serbia; sophomore Marko Krtinić, of Indjija, Serbia; and Darija Erakovic of Novi Banovci, Serbia told the Telegram they’ve cultivated a family-like bond with fellow students while at EWC they say will move forward with them as they transfer to universities for their junior and senior years before returning home to Europe. All three students came to EWC for sports, such as volleyball and basketball, and to experience American culture. The trio explained to the Telegram their sports agents from their hometowns reached out to EWC coaches and helped them through the process in becoming college athletes. This trio grew up in cities within an hour of each other, met at EWC and now say regardless of where their life paths take them, they will remain as close as siblings. Social Science major Erakovic said, “We fight with each other sometimes – but, we work through it because we have that friendship now that is closer than ordinary friendship.” Business Administration major Djurovic added, “We made life-long friendships here at EWC which means we have a lot of time together and we know we can depend on each other for support because we made this into our second home through making our own community here.” Business Administration major Krtinić agreed with what Erakovic and Djurovic said but added, “We have a connection because of where we come from but also because we help each other learn the process of college life and American culture, so it helps us grow together – but not just us Serbian students, all international students, which EWC has a lot of international connections and together we are a larger community. I see a lot of our friendships lasting a lifetime no matter where we go in life.” As far as what advice the trip wanted to give other international students, the common theme was to take risks and dive in. “You have to take risks and know they will pay off to come so far from home,” Djurovic explained. “You can’t know for certain how it will play out or pay off because we come from so far away, but you have to take the risk and go for it because in the end it will be rewarding to connect with new communities.” Erakovic added, “If you come here, you’re definitely going to love it and you won’t regret it because it’s an experience of growth and I think – you find out who you are a little more too, so definitely take the risk because it will reward you.” Krtinić said, “Taking the risk gives you a good experience of meeting new people, learning about new cultures and adapting to a new way of life, which I think can go a long way for us all to make better decisions and be kinder to people who aren’t like ourselves.” “I will be keeping in contact with my friends here as much as possible,” Krtinić added. “I will be transferring to a university after this school year, but the friendships I’ve made here have made me a better person, taught me a lot about myself and other people’s cultures and I think the best way to keep growing is to keep in contact with the people I’ve met here. Plus, with technology, we aren’t really that far away from each other, even if we can’t be physically close to one another.” Erakovic added, “I think we have the kind of friendship where we can go one day, one week, one month or even one year without talking to each other but pick up where we left off because we made this community among us here in Torrington.” Djurovic explained, “I agree with Marko (Krtinić) and Darija (Erakovic) – we all have different goals and paths in life we are hoping to take, but with technology I think it’s easier now more than ever to keep in contact and make this bigger community even if we are miles and miles apart or if we live in the dorm next to each other. EWC gave us an opportunity to meet people from where we had never met before coming to EWC but the college also gave us a bigger community outside of that which has grown into a deep bond with one another.” “We love to laugh and love with each other, yes, true, like any other friendship or family relationship we have our moments when we get mad at each other and argue,” Djurovic explained. “At the end of the day we know we are more like family and will continue to experience life together whether that’s here at EWC or in our future universities or wherever life takes us.” Erakovic added, “What makes us closer is we help each other with everything, like navigating through college or American culture. Marko (Krtinic), for example, he is a year ahead of us, but he helped us find our classes, help us with our English, help us make friends and he sort of is our big brother here at EWC, he looks out for us too and we look out for him also.” Krtinić explained further, “We are so close for many reasons, not just because we are all from Serbia, but because we’ve come to learn we can rely on each other and trust each other to not judge and to have compassion when we are having a bad day or something. It’s the good and bad times, the easy and hard times that has made our bonds stronger and why I think we have made life-long friendships here.” The trio said they are thankful EWC brought them together and respect the college for accommodating them as well as other international students. When asked what the group of friends wanted to let the community know about them or other international students at EWC they said their wish is residents understand other cultures more because EWC is home to many international students. “For me, I think if we can get the message out to Torrington and our community, it is to know EWC has many, many international students with different cultures, beliefs and backgrounds,” said Krtinić. “The more we learn about each other, the kinder I think our community will become. There are so many different cultures here at EWC and I like to learn about them and I think our community would like to learn from us also. It would go a long way to help make future international students more comfortable sooner.” “Torrington has been pretty open to me, us and our culture, but you don’t really know that when you first come here because you come to an unknown place that has a lot of international students,” Krtinić further explained. “So my wish is for Torrington to be more open to learning about the different cultures represented here at EWC.” Djurovic added, “It is true, I think sometimes Torrington forgets EWC has students from all over the globe and that we have different cultures, backgrounds, holidays and stuff like that. I would also like to say my wish for our community here in Torrington is to be more open about the different cultures here because I think we also can learn from each other.” Erakovic echoed what her friends said and added, “I don’t think people realize a lot of students at EWC are international and it would be helpful if maybe the community knew more about our beliefs and cultures so it helps international students settle in better.” “We have international students here from other countries who help all of us international students, which is helpful, but sometimes you need someone from the country you come from to make you feel welcome,” Erakovic added. The trio said sports has made it easier for them to find a greater sense of belonging and community at EWC and in Torrington. They also said they view those friendships as being lifelong as well. “Basketball has made it so I can create more friendships and bonds – which allows me to share more of my culture too in a safe environment of people who respect me and I respect them,” Krtinić explained. Like Krtinić, Erakovic also said basketball and sports have allowed her to open up about her culture and background to fellow students and teammates. “I think when we let our guard down some, open up to our fellow classmates and teammates, it fosters this deeper sense of belonging and community,” Erakovic explained. “Sports is very important because it allows us to be exposed to different cultures and learn how to be more open to those cultures and beliefs.” Djurovic echoed her friends about the importance of international students in EWC sports and added, “I think when we share common interests, like sports, I came here for volleyball and basketball now too, it has allowed me to open up more about who I am, where I come from, my culture and beliefs in an environment I feel is safe, understanding and maybe nurturing.” The students agree EWC works hard at welcoming international students and making them feel at home and accepted into the community. “Sometimes I think people in general don’t understand different cultures, nationalities, backgrounds and beliefs so maybe it can be scary for them,” Erakovic explained. “But, I think if we all can be a little more open about discovering new things about other cultures and peoples it can lead to a better understanding of our global friends, communities and nations.” The trio said so far they’ve had a great experience at EWC and in Torrington. “EWC has given us something we didn’t think was possible so far from home,” Erakovic said. “They have given us a sense of community and a larger family.” Djurovic added, “I agree with Darija (Erakovic), the college has given us a lot of things like a deeper love of sports, an education and a place of belonging, but they have also given us a family I think will last the rest of my life.” Like Djurovic and Erakovic, Krtinić said it’s the sense of belonging and community he will cherish from his time at EWC as he leaves for a university after May. https://torringtontelegram.com/article/serbian-students-form-lifelong-bond-at-ewc

Applications are invited for the position of Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Environmental History of Socialism within the framework of ‘The Socialist Anthropocene in the Visual Arts’, a five-year interdisciplinary research project awarded in the ERC Consolidator Grant competition and funded through a UKRI Frontier Research grant. The Socialist Anthropocene in the Visual Arts (SAVA) sets out to radically transform current debates on the Anthropocene, addressing the major lacuna in existing accounts by establishing the Socialist Anthropocene as a novel conceptual framework that asserts the constitutive role of the twentieth century environmental histories of socialism in the formation of the new geological age. It is the first large-scale interdisciplinary research project that institutes the Socialist Anthropocene as a new field of study within the critical corpus concerned with challenging and decentring the West-centric discourses of the Anthropocene. The approach of the project is to reconstruct the histories of the Socialist Anthropocene through visual arts led interdisciplinary research, which entails analysing historical artworks and engaging with contemporary art practices that act as a catalyst to integrate the insights of multiple disciplines and as a critical agent to pose ambitious and expansive questions, challenging assumptions and engendering new cross-disciplinary paradigms to illuminate the specificities of the Socialist Anthropocene.
