Dobro Slovo, the National Slavic Honor Society, is pleased to announce our call for new chapters and new inductees for the 2024–2025 academic year. You may apply to open a new chapter and induct new members at the same time. In addition, we are looking for translation assistance in translating some of our materials into other Slavic languages in addition to Russian. 

This year, we will once again have two waves of inducting new members. These dates are noted below. We encourage you to make the first deadline if possible, especially if your institution has an early induction date. If this is not feasible, we will have a second deadline in mid-March. Please note that if you submit after the due date for round one, you will automatically be included in the group for round two.  Keep in mind that the second deadline often overlaps with spring break, so please plan accordingly.

Postdoctoral Research Fellowships, Russian & East European Imperial/Early Soviet Environmental History (University College, Dublin)

Deadline: November 21, 2024


University College Dublin/ European Research Council
Applications are invited for three 33-month posts of UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 or 2 within the University College Dublin School of History, Ireland.

These Post-Doctoral Fellowships are part of the ERC Starting Grant project ‘Land Limits: Towards a connected history of population, environment, capital and conflict in Russian Eurasia, 1860s-1920s’, led by Dr Jennifer Keating. Land Limits explores the environmental impact of population increase across rural northern Eurasia during the last decades of the Russian empire and the early years of the Soviet state. These impacts include but are not limited to, deforestation, shifts in land and water management, mining, new agricultural technologies, enclosure, irrigation and drainage, and species modifications and eradications. The research team of three Post-Doctoral Fellows, a Research Assistant and the Principal Investigator aims to analyse the multiscalar economic and political implications of these ecological changes, working from local and regional to imperial and trans-imperial. At heart, the project aims to critically analyse the ways in which ecological shifts were integral components of evolving socio-political relations and tensions, by considering local communities and their relationships with the state and with private enterprise within and beyond imperial borders. Ultimately, we aim to deepen the understanding of the connections between environmental change, economic growth and political violence in northern Eurasia, and to contribute to broader conversations about the breakdown of states and the birth of new political entities.
