Focus 2010: Migration, Diversity and the Future of Modern Societies Scholarship Program in Migration Studies The Scholarships For 2010, research applications on “Migration, Diversity and the Future of Modern Societies†are especially welcome. Migration leads to increasing diversity in many countries all over the world. Sometimes this results in challenges of established institutions as well as cultural practices of modern societies. Current migrant populations are more heterogeneous than ever before: migrants and their descendants have not only different religious, cultural and ethnic roots, but they also differ with regard to their citizenship status, as well as their professional and economic backgrounds. At the same time, governments in receiving societies frequently react to this phenomenon with integration schemes that implicitly address a non-existent homogeneous “migrant populationâ€. On the other hand, there are examples where diversity and cultural pluralism are seen as strength and advantage. Ph.D. students dealing with these broad issues in different regions of the world are invited to apply for a scholarship. We encourage the following topics, but will also consider other approaches: Diversity and political order Migration and cultural, ethnic and religious diversity Integration policies Cultural policy and the management of diversity Concepts and categories in migration and integration debates Innovative approaches both in terms of subject matter and methodology are highly encouraged. Monthly stipend of 1.200 Euros, additional funds for special research needs available on an individual basis. 6-8 scholarships per year. Scholarships are granted for 1 up to 3 years. Yearly conferences and field trips. Students communicate on a web-based platform and organize workshops supported by a program assistant. The world is in motion: people and ideas, products, technologies and diseases are travelling between regions and continents. Cities and cultures as well as family and labour market relations are changing in these processes of globalization. Nation states are less capable to regulate policy areas independently. The movement of people is only one factor among others generating change, but one whose importance will rise over the next years. Migrants are settling into societies that are themselves transforming. Integration thus becomes a moving target. Everyone needs to be prepared to embrace change. Some migrants will also keep multi-stranded relations with their countries of origin, thereby building transnational spaces; others will after little time move on to third countries. All of them settle into motion. How can migrants and their receiving and sending countries reap the benefits of this movement of people? Which structural and procedural conditions have to be in place to take advantage of diversity? And what are the challenges for the indivi-dual, the migrant family, the regions and countries migrants come from as well as the places of reception? The Bucerius Ph.D. Scholarship Program “Settling Into Motion†seeks to address these questions, each year focusing on a different topic. Requirements Applicants must be Ph.D. students of – in a broad sense – social sciences. Deadline 25 February 2010 for a stipend starting in August 2010. Please apply online at www.settling-into-motion.de with Ph.D. proposal and two references.

Its activities are centred on research and scholarship, art and culture as well as education and training. The flagship of the Foundation is the Bucerius Law School, founded in Hamburg in 2000 as the only private university for law studies in Germany, and already a strong innovative force in its academic discipline and beyond. The establishment of the Bucerius Kunst Forum in the heart of Hamburg underlines the importance of the Foundation in the arts.Intercultural dialogue is at the centre of the Foundation’s international activities spanning above all Central and Eastern Europe, the US, and Israel. (www.zeit-stiftung.de)The Bucerius Ph.D. Scholarship Programin Migration StudiesSettling into MotionGerd BuceriusAs a lawyer, politician and as publisher of the weekly news-paper “DIE ZEITâ€, Gerd Bucerius (1906-1995) defended individual and political rights and freedom, wherever he considered them at risk. His biographer, Lord Ralf Dahrendorf, characterized Gerd Bucerius as a “true liberal, independent and freeâ€. In all his endeavours, Gerd Bucerius never once shied away from difficult and sometimes highly contentious questions. Despising complacency, he turned his newspaper into a forum for cosmopolitan debate and controversy. With its Bucerius Ph.D. Scholarship Program in Migration Studies, the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius strives to live up to his spirit.
