The AHEI is pleased to announce the completion of its second annual
Summer Program in Humanities and Social Sciences. This year, students
came together from Javakh, Abkhazia, as well as several regions of
Armenia for an intensive course designed to enhance critical thinking
skills and lay solid groundwork for future research undertakings. The
program was sponsored by the Open Society Institute, and training
space was provided by Yerevan State University.
A variety of experts from across the Armenian diaspora combined efforts
to deliver an integrated series of seminars and lectures in their
respective areas of specialization. Two primary seminars in political
science theory and historiography - given by DrsHamazaspDanielyan of
Yerevan State University and Elke Hartmann of the Freie University
of Berlin - were complemented by lectures in comparative government;
the history of diplomacy; art, politics, and propaganda; and other
subjects. In addition, participants received an intensive two-week
introduction to SPSS, a software program commonly used in social
science research.
Following the course, students will spend the next several months
conducting research on themes determined during the course of the
program. Research projects will be monitored distantly by participating
professors.
AHEI alumni continue to build bonds with one another and share
academic and professional opportunities through active online
networks. Because of the links created between staff, alumni, and
related parties, participants have expanded their academic horizons,
gained employment, and found new volunteer opportunities. In addition,
AHEI networks serve as a bridge between critical members of diasporan
communities that would otherwise have very little or no contact with
one another. The organization continues to work on expanding these
networks and opening more doors to its members.
