We are delighted to announce the next Summer Institute in Urban Studies (SIUS 16). The event will take place at the University of Manchester from the evening of Sunday 26 June to the evening of 30 June 2016 and the application process is now open.
SIUS 16 provides an
opportunity to investigate leading-edge theoretical and methodological
questions, along with a range of associated career development issues,
in the field of urban studies. The Institute will feature contributions
from internationally renowned figures in urban studies, from inside and
outside of Manchester.
Format
Open to doctoral students (usually post-fieldwork), postdoctoral
researchers, and recently appointed faculty/lecturers (normally within
three years of first continuing appointment), the Institute comprises an
intensive, week-long programme of activities.
It is designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding
of the innovatory developments and enduring controversies in urban
studies, as well as mentoring and support in the different aspects of
the academic labour process - from applying for grants to designing
courses, from editing books and special issues of journals to writing
book proposals, and from publishing in journals to working at the
academic/non-academic interface. It will consist of panels, lectures and
reading groups with participants involved in shaping the final
programme.
Fees
The fee for the Institute is £275 GBP. This amount covers the
organisational costs and includes accommodation for five nights (26 June
to 1 July inclusive), a welcome reception (26 June), a walking tour,
lunches, and an institute dinner (29 June).
