THE CURRICULUM RESOURCE CENTER (CRC); CENTRAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY

Program TITLE:   COURSE DEVELOPMENT COMPETITION - 2003

Application deadline: 28 April 2003 (all applications should reach the
CRC office by this date)

The Curriculum Resource Center (CRC) of Central European University,
sponsored by the Higher Education Support Program of Open Society
Institute, announces a call for proposals to develop new, innovative
university courses.

Aims of the Program

1. This competition is intended to encourage the introduction of new
courses, which are innovative in content, methodology and teaching
approach.
2. The program seeks to further the dissemination of new curricula
across our region (defined as Central and Eastern Europe, the former
Soviet Union and Mongolia).
3. Finally, we also aim to provide incentives and means for
interdisciplinary and international co-operation amongst academics from
the region.

Program DESCRIPTION:

1. Applicants are invited to develop and teach a one or two semester
long course on an important topic from a new perspective, in the
discipline areas listed below. The course should be clearly directed
towards one of the following levels: introductory; intermediate;
advanced; post-graduate.
2. The competition is open to individuals and groups for 10 month
grants. During this period, the successful applicants should first
prepare and then teach their proposed course.
3. Group grants will be awarded to promote innovative, collaborative
projects and priority will be given to groups of academics from at least
two different countries or cities of the region who aim to design a
course from an international perspective.
4. Where appropriate, applicants are strongly recommended to base their
courses on their original research in the given field.
5. All applicants should show how they intend to apply new approaches
(teaching methodology) to delivering the course.
6. Project proposals should demonstrate the following: compatibility
with the curriculum reform endeavours; innovative character and approach
(also to course design); relevance to regional issues; scientific
quality in the selected field; feasibility.
7. All accepted applicants are required to attend a workshop on
Curriculum Design and Teaching Methodology at the beginning of their
grant period. (The workshop will most likely take place during the week
of 23-29 June, 2003. The exact dates will be confirmed and announced
later for selected applicants.)
8. Application is restricted to resident citizens of Eastern- and
Southeastern Europe, the Former Soviet Union and Mongolia who are
teaching or intending to teach at a university in any country of this
region. Citizens of EU accession countries (Czech Republic, Hungary,
Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) are eligible
only if they participate in group projects with colleagues from
non-accession countries AND/OR they propose courses developed in any of
the discipline areas described below that have a significant component
dedicated to the situation of Roma populations.

9. Previous CDC grantees and HESP/RSS Course Development Fellows are not
eligible for 5 years. Previous CRC participants can apply for a CDC
grant. Current Civic Education Project fellows may not apply.

Course Development Competition Grants

Grants for both individual and group projects will consist of the
following:

1. Monthly individual stipends for the preparation and teaching period
(country-specific, determined by the CRC office);
2. An allowance for legitimate additional course development expenses
(book purchases, teaching materials, photocopying, slides, etc.);
3. An allowance for additional, justified travel costs and
administrative expenses in the case of group grants;
4. By negotiation with the CRC, an allowance for justified travel to a
library outside the home city for the development of course materials
etc. The CRC will not, however, cover the costs of study in countries
outside the region.

Group stipends for the teaching period will be calculated from the
amount of a full stipend in proportion to the degree of involvement of
each participant (involvement should be expressed clearly as a
percentage in the course plan). Group leaders will, in addition, receive
a small group leader's fee for their extra responsibilities.

Evaluation Procedures

Applications will be evaluated and judged by a special selection
committee set up by the CRC. Members of the committee will be respected
scholars with sufficient knowledge of the higher education needs of the
region. Finally, all successful applicants are expected to have their
students on the given course provide their own evaluation. Finished
courses will be edited and placed on the CRC Web Site to be available to
all.

Discipline Areas for the Course Development Competition 2003

The CRC invites applications to the Course Development Competition in
the discipline/ subject areas briefly described below.

Especially in case of applications from countries with a substantial
Roma population priority will be given to proposals for courses that
have either a specific component or are entirely dedicated to dealing
with the situation of the Roma.

Qualitative Research Methods (for candidates from the Caucasus and
Central Asia)

Courses should cover the purpose, design and analysis of qualitative
approaches to research in social sciences and the relevance of these
methods to social theory and micro or macro level changes in
post-communist countries. Topics could also focus on case studies
carried out by using one of the qualitative research methods in
contemporary social sciences.

Anthropology / Cultural Studies/History

We encourage individuals or teams to design new courses that:
1. explore the concept of "culture" as used by the Anglo-Saxon and
French anthropological traditions, contemporary European ethnology and
the emerging anthropological-ethnological schools in the region
2. deal with the epistemological and moral problems of the production of
ethnographic knowledge about distant others and contemporary modern
societies
3. are based on original ethnographic investigations in topics relevant
to current social changes and processes in the region, such as the
formation of public and private histories, new forms of political
mobilization, transnational production of knowledge and culture, and
novel classifications of groups in society

Social Economics

Courses investigating the relationship between economics and society,
ranging among others from economic inequalities to the role of the state
in markets, from employment and social security issues (child- and
health care, pension system) to the economics of education, environment
and crime, etc.

Philosophy/Religious Studies

Proposals that address one or more of the following issues are
particularly encouraged.
. Theories of knowledge and of meaning. Issues in rationality,
epistemology with links to cognitive matters, philosophical theories of
meaning.
. A comparative study of the religions of post-communist countries.
. The relationship between religion, culture, and national identity.
. Religion as resistance (to the State, to the West) in historical
perspective.
. Symbols, myths, meanings.

Linguistics

Priority is given to contemporary linguistic theories that challenge the
existing teaching canons of the home country. We particularly encourage
innovative courses that combine theoretical aspects with an applied and
interdisciplinary perspective.

Political Science

Courses should address the fundamental areas of the discipline:
political institutions and processes; the origins, development and
transformation of theory and concepts; understanding different
approaches to political analysis; political philosophy; political
economy; political and economic sociology; constitutionalism and the
legal contexts necessary for understanding politics and debates about
it.
