Announcement follows
Oslo Summer School in Comparative Social Science Studies consists of several short and intensive one-week postgraduate research courses at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Oslo, Norway.
Oslo Summer School in Comparative Social Science Studies was initiated by Professor Fredrik Engelstad in 1992 in order to further international contact among students and researchers working within comparative social science. The first summer school session was held in the summer of 1993, and will now be held for the 14th time in the summer of 2006.
From a relatively small summer session back in 1993, with 7 course modules offered and only about 50 PhD students participating, the Summer School during the last 6-7 years have grown steadily from year to year, with well over 200 PhD students and young researchers attending the summer programme of 2001, and summer programme of 2005. And the programme of 2004 was actually fully enlisted for almost all the 9 different course modules, with alltogether 250 participants ranging from about 30 different countries.
In the year 2002, the Oslo Summer School celebrated its 10th year adding two 2 anniversary lectures to the programme, one of them held by the well known Norwegian political scientist and philosopher Jon Elster who lectured on the topic of The Comparative Study of Justice.
Throughout the years, a number of well known scholars have lectured at the Oslo Summer School, such as Professor Bob Jessop (1994 & 2001), Professor Gösta Esping-Andersen (1995), Professor Peter Evans and Professor Wendy Griswold (1998 and 2005), Professor Charles Tilly, Professor Philippe Aghion and Professor Robert Boyer (1999), Professor Michal Mann (2000), Professor Pippa Norris (2001), Dr. Keith Hart (2002), Professor Rogers Brubaker (2004), Professor Brian Wynne and Professor Göran Therborn (2005). And for many years, and perhaps one of our most popular courses, Professor Charles C. Ragin have provided the methodological background and framework lecturing on Comparative Methodology (1994, 1996, 1998, 2001 and 2004).
Funding for the Oslo Summer School have for many years been provided by the Norwegian Research Council and the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Oslo.
The Nordic Research Board (NordForsk) have for many years supported Oslo Summer School with scholarships for PhD students from the Nordic Countries, the Baltic States, and from the Northwest region of Russia, mainly St.Petersburg. And for a few years in the period of 1997-2001, the University of Oslo supported a limited number of PhD students from the Eastern European countries as well.
Target Groups:
The main target group is doctoral students with an interest in comparative social science. In addition, researchers, research scholars and MA students aiming at an advanced level are welcome to apply. The priority regarding admission will always be on those doctoral students attached to organized research training at a university, and who is willing to write an essay in order to obtain ECTS credits.
