Cultures of Law in a Global Order
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Deadline: March 30, 2012
As part of a new interdisciplinary initiative sponsored by an INTERSECT grant from the Graduate
College, we invite applications for one-year graduate fellowships to participate in an
interdisciplinary research group on “Cultures of Law in a Global Order”
(http://www.grad.illinois.edu/intersect).
Description: “Cultures of Law in a Global Order” (CLGO) aims to create and promote
intellectual exchange among the Humanities, Social Sciences, Arts, and Law, as well as to
examine critically synergies of culture and law in various contexts. The project grows out of
recognition of the serious challenges emerging from the multiplicity of systems of justice
globally, leading to confusion and confrontation on several fronts: clandestine economies and
the criminalization of poverty; terrorism and ultranationalism; sustainability and economic
development; gender, race, and immigration law; health and commercialization; medical law
and ethics. These challenges require scholars to understand and communicate not only across
national/continental/linguistic borders but also across disciplinary lines. Understanding
multiple systems of justice is essential in an age where interactions among peoples from
different cultural backgrounds increase with unprecedented speed and scale. “Cultures of Law
in a Global Order” aims to cultivate an interdisciplinary environment in which graduate
students can develop skills to identify and study the relationship between culture and law in a
global framework, with attention both to macro phenomena and local histories.
Fellowship Support: $20,000 stipend, plus a waiver of tuition, service fee, AFMA fee, and
library fee, for the 2012-13 academic year. In addition, the University will provide payment of
the health service fee, basic dental and vision coverage, and partial payment of the graduate
student health insurance fee per semester. For further details about the financial and
insurance package, please contact the Graduate College at grad@illinois.edu.
Requirements: Fellowship recipients will be required to attend and help organize a monthly
reading group during the 2012-13 academic year; take graduate seminars offered under the
CLGO program; collaborate in the public presentation of their research with other CLGO
participants; and be in residence on the Urbana-Champaign campus during the fellowship year.
Eligibility: To be considered, applicants must be currently enrolled in or admitted to a Ph.D. or
MFA program in the Humanities or Arts at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with
demonstrated interest and expertise in questions of law and culture, along with
interdisciplinary methods. We especially encourage applications from people of color and from
women of all ethnicities and races.
To apply: Send the following materials as attachments to culturesoflaw@gmail.com:
1. Letter of application detailing interest and qualifications, particularly in the areas of law and
culture
2. c.v.
3. Writing sample (no more than 25 pages)

Photo Exhibition is running in Chicago - One year anniversary of the earthquake in Japan
A photo exhibition commemorating the one year anniversary of the earthquake in Japan last March is running in Chicago from March 12th through 31st. The exhibition is a collaborative effort between a number of Chicago-based organizations, and will show selected photographs of the Tohoku region following the earthquake and tsunami.
The event is free and open to the public and in addition to the exhibition itself, there will be a special reception and seminar on the opening day. Mr. Tatsuhiro Shindo, Chief Executive Director of the Chicago office of the Japan External Trade Organization, will be giving a speech on the recovery efforts in Japan, and the disaster’s economic impact.
The reception will take place at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (230 S. LaSalle St., Chicago, IL), and refreshments will be served. I welcome anyone interested in Japan, or economics, to attend both the reception, and the exhibit itself, as both should prove very educational and insightful. Please note that although the reception is free, registration is required; to register, please contact the Japan America Society of Chicago at: ogi@jaschicago.org.
For more information, please see the Chicago Sister Cities International Website, and please see the attached press release. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, and I hope to see you there!
