The Research Group “EUROPEAN PROTEST MOVEMENTS” invites applications
from postgraduate students, early stage researchers (PhD-students) and
postdocs who are working in the field of European protest movements
since 1945 for the participation of two training workshops within a
series of Marie Curie Conferences and Training Courses on “European
Protest Movements since the Cold War: The Rise of a (Trans-)national
Civil Society and the Transformation of the Public Sphere.”

Workshop I:   	“Tracing Protest Movements: Perspectives from Sociology,
Political Sciences, and Media Studies”

Workshop II:   	“Designing a New Life: Aesthetics and Lifestyles of
Political and Social Protest”
Date: 		March 7-10, 2007 
Location: 	German Department, University of Zurich, Switzerland

The aim of the workshops is to offer a platform to discuss innovative
research in this area and to provide the trainees with an overall view
of the scientific approaches to protest movements, enabling them to
apply proper conceptual, theoretical and methodological frameworks to
their own research (see www.protest-research.org for detailed
information). All travel costs within reasonable boundaries will be
covered by the European Union. The teaching for Workshop I will be
performed by leading scholars from the fields of Sociology, Media
Studies and Political Science, who will offer the following workshops:

Evidence” (Dieter Rucht, Social Science Research Center, WZB Berlin)

Public Sphere” (Hans Kleinsteuber, Institute for Political Science,
