Please forward to Alb students in Canada.



Part-time Job Opportunity for Graduate Students
Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, a
project aimed to produce a critical anthology of contemporary Muslim short
stories from the Balkans in English translation is in progress. Two
stories will be included from each of the following countries: Albania,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia&Montenegro, and
Turkey. Other relevant countries, especially Romania and Croatia, will be
considered as well, should there be appropriate material for such an
anthology. Suggestions to that effect are welcome
The project intends to promote, through English translation, stories that
may be otherwise inaccessible outside their authors' places of origin. It
also creates an opportunity to bring together literary authors who share
many spiritual, ritual, and cultural sensibilities, but differ in other
ways of self-identification. Finally, the project aims to draw attention
to the unity and diversity of Balkan Islam, and the regional and
religio-cultural links among Balkan Muslims at this crucial period in
their history.
The project is envisioned as a collaborative work with graduate students
whose duty will involve assisting the project coordinator in finding the
appropriate material, selecting two most suitable stories, and translating
them into English. All student participants will be financially
compensated based on Canadian rates for part-time student employment.
With the team only partly formed, graduate students with the following
qualifications are still invited to apply:
1) Full- or part-time graduate status ( M.A. or Ph.D.) at any established
university in the areas of Humanities and Social Sciences;
2) Native or near native knowledge of any of the following languages:
Albanian, Greek, Macedonian, and Romanian* (*depending on the availability
of material as noted above);
3) Excellent command of English;
4) Interest in the subject matter.
Graduate students interested to participate in this project should send
their names and CVs--by fax, mail or email--to the project coordinator by
30 May 30 2003 at the following address:
Prof. Amila Buturovic
Division of Humanities
