Dear All,

we are proud to inform you that this year's winners of the Best Paper Award for the Undergraduate Conference are Afzal and Isabel Soloaga. Congratulations!

We also have the honour to have István Perczel, the Professor of the CEU as a lecturer at the conference. (https://people.ceu.edu/istvan_perczel) Perczel's main topic concerns the history of Syrian Christians - an important segment of which will be touched upon in the keynote lecture on the first day of the conference.

"At present, the easternmost branch of native Asian Christians is that of the Syrian Christians of India, or of the Christians of Saint Thomas, an eight million-strong, prosperous community. Their history can be described as a series of inter-community contacts and migrations. This story shows that migration can be a way of life and is an organic element of social life and human history. It is also a standard response to economic, social, political and religious changes. The story also shows that what we may call a Christian culture has nothing specifically European about it, nor have there ever existed quasi-insulated “civilisations” in the Toynbeean sense in human history. The presence and the migrations of the Syrian Christians of Persia and India acted as a leaven in Indian society."

István Perczel | CEU People István Perczel studied Ancient Greek, Ancient Philosophy and Patristics from Judit Horváth, Kornél Steiger, Dániel Bíró and Katalin Vidrányi. Together with Judit Horváth, he translated a significant part of Plotinus' Enneads into Hungarian, which was published in 1986. Between 1990 and 1994 ...

Dear All,

Dear All,

since we only have a bit more than two weeks left, it is time that we drop at least pieces on information for you! First, let us introduce one of our keynote lecturers, Ildikó Zakariás and her topic. Ildikó is a research fellow of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences with her main research interests being migration and ethnicity, NGOs and ethnicity and philanthropy. https://tk.mta.hu/en/researcher/zakarias-ildiko Her current lecture will concern a topic deeply in our interest - that is the personal migration experience of Hungarians working or volunteering in German refugee reception organizations.

"The image of refugees that dominates the interviews conducted with these individuals is that of the economically deserving refugee who is hardworking and keen to acquire a proper education, employment and regularisation in Germany. Discourses of vulnerability and of cultural difference appear to be subordinated to maintaining such representations of deservingness and performance. Identification with refugees and asylum seekers based on the perceived similarity of the struggle to achieve (economic, legal, and institutional) performance as migrants in German society becomes entangled with professional expectations in terms of the need to produce successfully compliant subjects."

Just a reminder - the deadline is soon!
