> Hanyang University, June 25-29, 2011
>
> *CALL FOR PARTICIPATION*
>
> Flying University of Transnational Humanities (FUTH) is an annual summer
> school and year-round online forum for researchers and graduate students
> interested in the transnational paradigm of humanistic inquiry.
>
> FUTH takes its name and immediate inspiration from Poland's Flying
> University, an underground institution which offered an alternative
> education outside the remit of state control and government censorship.
> FUTH is particularly concerned with developing critical understandings
> that are resistant to the ideological and ideational hegemony of the
> nation-state and the epistemological and hermeneutic conventions that
> support it.
>
> FUTH consists of lectures/seminars where renowned scholars from partner
> and other institutions are invited to share their ideas as well as
> graduate/postdoctoral sessions with feedback from the speakers. All
> lectures, seminars and presentations are held in English.
>
> For the initial three years (2010–2012), the overarching theme of FUTH is
> 'borders.' With the 1st FUTH successfully completed in 2010, we are now
> gearing ourselves up for the 2nd FUTH in 2011. Under the subheading of
> 'Border-crossing Self,' we hope to gather diverse research and knowledge
> on border-related (cross-border or bordering) issues such as migration,
> ethnicity, language, citizenship and gender and open up a forum for
> discussions on the (un)making of trans/national self.
>
> The 2nd Flying University of Transnational Humanities under the theme of
> 'Border-crossing Self' invites graduate students and post-doctoral
> scholars to apply for participation. The event will be held June 25-29 at
> Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea.

> University)
