Call for chapter proposals - Edited collection “Post-Socialist Urban Infrastructures”
The proposed collection departs from the observation that the existing
literature on post-socialist urban infrastructures is, firstly, mainly
focused on energy; secondly, scattered among multiple topics and,
thirdly, lacking relation to the existing and expanding theoretical
literature on infrastructures (e.g., Amin, 2014; Graham & Marvin,
2001; Graham & McFarlane, 2014).
This collection of articles aims to
provide a more comprehensive and theoretically-substantiated framework
regarding urban infrastructures, which have both been shaped by and have
contributed to shape the post-socialist transformation. Analysing
infrastructure is thus also a way to approach post-socialist cities more
generally.

CfP:Cities and Science: Urban History and the History of Science in the Study of Early Modern and Modern Europe
Budapest, 18-27 July 2016
Application deadline: 14 February 2016
This interdisciplinary summer course will bring together senior and junior
scholars of urban history, the history of science, and other related fields
in order to exchange ideas in developing new research agendas with an aim
to expand the “urban variable” in the history of science and to designate a
space for the sciences in urban history from the early modern period to the
early 20th century.
While the summer school will have a distinct interdisciplinary and
trans-epochal character, and encourages practitioners of other fields, such
as environmental studies, gender studies, literature, science and
technology studies, sociology, cultural or social anthropology, to apply,
potential participants should demonstrate historical awareness and a
general interest in history.
The course is directed by Markian Prokopovych and Katalin Straner, and the
faculty includes Bert De Munck, Karl Hall, László Kontler, Kapil Raj,
Ulrike Spring, and Roey Sweet.
For more information on the course, including eligibility criteria and
application requirements, see http://summer.ceu.hu/citiesandscience-2016
