Ethnicity, Nationalism, and National Identity Network
Ethnicity, Nationalism, and National Identity Network (ENNIN) brings together students and staff across the disciplines at the University of Edinburgh whose research explores the issues of ethnicity, nationalism and national identity. The aim of the network is to provide students and professors with a forum where they can discuss their research interests and exchange ideas with their peers from the University of Edinburgh, as well as other universities, research centres and academic programmes that focus on similar issues and topics.
If you are interested in attending our meetings and workshops, please contact us with your name, e-mail and your research interests at ennin.rg@ed.ac.uk.
ENNIN Seminar, Wednesday 25th January
The seminar will take place on Wednesday, 25th January from 4.30-6.00pm at the Seminar Room of Chisholm House (High School Yards). We will have two student presentations:
“Displaying ‘Turkish Culture’ to Audiences within and beyond Borders: An Ethnography of
the State”
By Nese Karahasan
“Equal education, unequal identities: primary school children’s construction of
identities and Taiwanese nationalism”
By Jessica Chang
Our most sincere apologies for the last minute change of the seminar date. Some students had a clash with a course on Tuesdays so seminars have been moved to Wednesdays.
Upcoming Workshop
‘Crossing Perspectives: Concepts and Methods in the Study of Nationalism’, 11 November 2011, Edinburgh
University of Edinburgh’s Ethnicity, Nationalism & National Identity Network (ENNIN) is pleased to announce a day-long workshop, Crossing Perspectives: Concepts and Methods in the Study of Nationalism, to be held on Friday, 11 November 2011. With addresses by Dr. John Hutchinson (LSE) and Professor David McCrone (University of Edinburgh), the workshop provides a unique opportunity for graduate students and staff from the University of Edinburgh, London School of Economics, Trinity College Dublin and beyond to discuss and exchange their ideas.
The workshop will not be based on the classical format of paper presentations but will be structured around two panels involving facilitators, and with full audience participation. The workshop’s first panel explores the differing perspectives on nationalism studies while the second panel focuses on methodology. All attendees are encouraged to participate. Space is limited.
To register for the workshop, please send an e-mail with your full name, school/program, university, year of study to ennin.rg@ed.ac.uk by 1 November 2011.
