Globalization from the 19th Century to the Present \u2013 will run until September 2016 with an option to extend it for an additional four and a half years.<\/p>\n快播视频 has recently joined with universities in Berlin, New York and Toronto to offer students the opportunity to be part of a new international PhD program.<\/p>\n
The International Graduate Research Program \u2013 The World in the City: Metropolitanism and Globalization from the 19th Century to the Present \u2013 will run until September 2016 with an option to extend it for an additional four and a half years.<\/p>\n
Nine of the first students to be part of the new International Graduate Research Program attend a ceremony in Berlin<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis kind of international collaboration for the benefit of our best doctoral students is now a sine qua non for the training of junior academics. It provides them with the important experience of gaining academic experience outside of their own institutions and cultural contexts,\u201d says York Professor Ute Lehrer of the Faculty of Environmental Studies (FES). It will also provide for research collaborations among faculty and graduate students at the various universities.<\/p>\n \"The first Berlin-based PhD student, Sabine Barthold, has just arrived to take classes at 快播视频 and the University of Toronto this fall and to meet with her Toronto supervisor,\u201d says FES Professor Roger Keil, director of the City Institute at 快播视频 (CITY).<\/p>\n Ute Lehrer<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBerlin and New York had a longstanding relationship with a similar program funded by the DFG. When this ended, they decided to enlarge the group of participating universities and add one city: Toronto,\u201d says Keil. \u201cThe York group applied for seed funding from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) for a trip to Berlin to attend a strategy meeting by all participating institutions in the summer of 2010. We continued to collaboratively work on the application with the final presentation in Berlin in September 2011.\u201d<\/p>\n Professor Dorothee Brantz, director of the Center for Metropolitan Studies at the Technische Universit\u00e4t Berlin, heads the program, sponsored by the German Research Foundation Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).<\/p>\n The Canadian Centre for German & European Studies at York, CITY, FES, York\u2019s Faculty of Graduate Studies and York International provided support in putting together the York contributions to this program, which Keil says will provide students with an invaluable experience.<\/p>\n The participating universities have already selected the first 13 students, plus one post-doctoral researcher. The program seeks to foster dialogue between historical and interdisciplinary urban studies in the following research fields \u2013 Building Metropolitanism: Architecture and Urban Planning; Moving Metropolitanism: Migration and Mobility; Thinking Metropolitanism: Knowledge and Communication; and Natural Metropolitanism: Environment and Sustainability.<\/p>\n The rise and development of modern metropoles is closely connected with global economic, ecological, political, cultural and infrastructural networks, says Keil, but the historical dimensions of such metropolitan-global connections have been hardly investigated. While scholars in the field of urban studies consider globalization as an essentially contemporary phenomenon, those researchers who are interested in long-term global processes have not paid much attention to the specific role of cities.<\/p>\n For more information, contact Roger Keil at rkeil@yorku.ca<\/a>\u00a0or Ute Lehrer at lehrer@yorku.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The first Berlin-based PhD student has just arrived in Toronto to take classes at 快播视频 and the University of Toronto as part of the new International Graduate Research Program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":172526,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[9,21],"yfileauthor":[],"qualifier":[],"yfile-author":[],"tags-to-show":[154],"workflow":[],"class_list":["post-172515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","tag-international","tag-research","tags-to-show-research"],"acf":{"internal_publish_date":null,"original_image":null},"yoast_head":"\n![\"Ute](\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/files\/2012\/09\/UteL.jpg\")
